<br></div>Could you put the 3c90x card into another machine and see if iPXE freezes in that machine too? Does the card work in Linux or Windows or whatever OS you use?<br>
<br></div>This should be valuable information in trying to track down the issue. I'll also see if I can spot anything obvious in the driver code.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>Thomas<br></font></span></div>

<div>What I wanted to say is if I don’t press Ctrl+B, the message to press it
disappear and only the messages to the Features line remain.</div>

<div>I just made the test again with the debug version I’ve build, and indeed,
when I use ifopen or ifopen net0, it crach with the same messages as the debug
for dhcp do.</div>

<div>That’s strange... I’ve done hard reboot, stop and run again, but the fact
is, now it crash every time with ifopen.</div>

<div>Thanks for the log file.<br><br></div>I'm quite puzzled by the output. You
said you could open and close the interface manually, yet the log shows that it
freezes in the open function.<br><br></div>It seems to freeze right when we send
the receive ring buffer address to the card.<br><br></div>Can you get us another
log, where you execute the following commands:<br></div>ifopen net0<br>dhcp
net0<br><br></div>Although there shouldn't be any difference, as dhcp calls open
internally, I'd like to know why your manual ifopen didn't
freeze.<br><br>><font face="Arial"> For test purpose I’m using the live CD
(1.0.0+ (c692a)) from your web site. It load SysLinux and iPXE and stop after
the “Features:” sentence. Just the cursor blink forever.</font>
<div><font face="Arial">> When I enter the console with Crtl+B, I
get:</font></div>
<div> </div></div>
<div>I'm not sure what you're saying here. iPXE freezes after the "Feature"
line, but you can press CTRL+B to get to the iPXE prompt? iPXE should try to
autoboot after the feature line.<br><br></div>
<div>If it doesn't try to autoboot, please run memtest86+ or something similar
on the machine and let it do a couple of passes, just to make sure we're not
seeing any weird hardware issues.<br></div>
