Description Joe Plunkett 2008-04-15 20:19:57 UTC
Description of problem:

When using an IBM JS21 in a BC-H,  a netboot with a 2.6.22.14 kernel using a 
With firmware versions (MB245_300 MB240_470, MB246_060) the zImage.initrd loads
via ftp, In the unsuccessful attempts, the process simply ends after the
real-base" line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kver 2.6.22.14 and 2.6.24.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build a zimage file including one of the referenced kernels including a ram
disk of 24MB or larger attempt to netboot
  
Actual results:
BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 2
FILE: zImage.initrd.js21
FINAL Packet Count = 20488
FINAL File Size = 10489847 bytes.
load-base=0x4000
real-base=0xc00000

Expected results:

Additional info:
seems to be related to the total size of the zImage file -- files of < 8MB seem
to work. also could be related to calculation of real-base

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 15:26:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 15:44:42 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
