[ipxe-devel] NIC Drivers DEBUG=nii:3 output

[Dean Westhead]

Hello,

OK ... got it now. I did wonder if I was expecting some debug output in the build process !

I am not actually physically where the blades are installed so this is all being done remotely via the iLO.

I am sure there is a better way to capture this output but as I am remote to them, I have put the screenshots into a word doc.

The doc is attached here in the email. If this is no good I will see what other way I can get it captured.

Thanks.

Dean.

Hello Dean,

We are also writing to a mailinglist. Hi everbody.

That is output during _build_   the request is _debug_ output.

So rerun  ipxe with the ipxe.efi that was build with

    make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi DEBUG=nii:3

and capture the output. It should help with solving the original problem
of NIC not being detected.  Bonus points for replying below the text.
