I've just received an Intel E1000(82545GM) NIC to make work with the TFTP server. The problem is that it does not seem to receive packets when connected to a GigE switch. It does work with a Fast Ethernet switch. The switches are from the same manufacturer. I do see the initial DHCP/BOOTP message send out, so I added some debug code to the rx-polling routine and it does not ever receive anything.
I've looked on the Etherboot-project's mailing list and found some comments to a similar error back in 2002 but no mention of a reason or a fix.
I think we onced tried an e1000 and it worked but that probably was another model. There are netboot/e1000 patches for GRUB floating around, do you happen to use such a GRUB and does it work? Does PXE work with the GE switch? Maybe there are more recent netboot drivers available that could be plugged in?
