[ipxe-devel] UEFI SCT patch

[Alexandre Rames]

My patch will potentially fix some errors reported by SCT 
<http://www.uefi.org/specs/>. It probably won't fix your problem.

I have little experience with UEFI or iPXE, but here are a few suggestions:

The commands you listed don't work for me, and I could not find matching 
vendor / device id for the first 3 devices you mention:
$ cd <ipxe_repo>/src/
$ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2000
$ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2001
$ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2625

I could build a efi-driver for the last device your mention:

Commands:
$ cd <ipxe_repo>/src/
$ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 1502
gives me:
./intel.c:926:    PCI_ROM ( 0x8086, 0x1502, "82579lm", "82579LM", 0 )

So I could build your UEFI driver with the command:
$ make bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv -j6
(replace efidrv with efirom to build a rom)


I am wondering if your other devices are supported. Maybe the way I am 
looking for devices is not appropriate though.

Here is an example procedure to load the driver built previously (very 
verbose).

cd to the filesystem

Check that your device exist. Here look for your device 0x8086, 0x1502

Check what drivers are loaded. Write down the index of the last driver 
loaded.

Load your driver manually (this is the file compiled previously)

Now check if your driver is loaded

and if your device is present.

If that does not work maybe try to enable debug in some iPXE files.
For example:
make bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv -j6 DEBUG=intel,efi_snp,efi_init
Enabling debug in files related to your device may give you some useful 
info.

Hope this helps,

Alexandre
