[parisc-linux] 715/100 bootpd fails

[Grant Grundler]

Hi again,

Building "Image" but can't boot it via bootpd.
Here's what I've worked through so far...ideas?

My 715/100 (firmware 1.6, 64MB RAM, no disk) complains
	"ERROR: Cannot load IPL, error detected"

from either a 11.00 or 10.20 bootpd host.
"sea lan" at the target "BCH" (aka BOOT_ADMIN) shows both hosts.	
I think bootpd is configured "close enough" and the target
box is finding both bootpd servers and "Image" on each. I did
have a problem with public read permission on one host but
fixed that.

I downloaded Image-19990705 from the puffin.external.hp.com depot
and got the same result. So it's probably not a tools issue.  :^/
Building mkImage with "cc" might make a difference - but I doubt it.
I also doubt the mkImages changes I posted earlier today matter either.

"file Image" tells me Image is a lif file.
But "lifls" says it's not. The contradiction is a bit annoying.
Can someone cook the makefile to use lifinit/lifcp instead of mkImage.c?
I'm not sure it's possible but would be good if we could.

I'll try a different box (712/80) and see what that says.
I have a scratch disk on this box and could try dumping "Image"
to disk to see if it's a problem with how Image is built or
how the bootp server is transmitting data to the target.

Someone locally suggested UDP checksum had to be either on or off.
Anyone know about this (and if so, how to set/clear it appriopriately)?

The rest is just FYI.
