[ipxe-devel] Could not stat bin/ipxe.dsk.bin: Value too large for defined data type?

Hello Steven,
(I am just a iPXE user and subscriber to this list
who just got curious about your mail.)

Do you still have this exact build tree?
I think you would need to supply some more information on the
input file, probably something like this:

ls -lisah bin/ipxe.dsk.bin

Also could you reproduce the issue in a clean directory?

And if yes you probably want to do something like this to let the people
have a little more insight what happens when you call ./util/zbin :

strace -f -o trace.txt ./util/zbin bin/ipxe.dsk.bin bin/ipxe.dsk.zinfo > bin/ipxe.dsk.zbin
grep -C2 stat trace.txt

See below what I have tried and how the build part looks at my test VM.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

- reboot

===========================================================

To create a bootable floppy, type
    cat bin/ipxe.dsk > /dev/fd0
where /dev/fd0 is your floppy drive.  This will erase any
data already on the disk.

To create a bootable USB key, type
    cat bin/ipxe.usb > /dev/sdX
where /dev/sdX is your USB key, and is *not* a real hard
disk on your system.  This will erase any data already on
the USB key.

To create a bootable CD-ROM, burn the ISO image 
bin/ipxe.iso to a blank CD-ROM.

These images contain drivers for all supported cards.  You
can build more customised images, and ROM images, using
    make bin/<rom-name>.<output-format>
