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

Hi Michael, 

On the old ( working ) version when I do an ifopen net0, I get a continuously scrolling screen of data that doesnt stop ( and is very difficult to capture ! ). 

When I do the same command on the new ( non working ), version, I get this : 


Dean.

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. 



Thank you. From the screenshot: 

NII NII-0000:06:00.0 issuing 09:801b ifnum 0 
NII NII-0000:06:00.0 could not set receive filters 0x801b: Input/output 
error (http://ipxe.org/1d6a4a98) 

which indicates that the failing operation is 
PXE_OPCODE_RECEIVE_FILTERS, and that the underlying NII (provided by the 
platform firmware) is returning PXE_STATCODE_DEVICE_FAILURE. 

You previously mentioned that commit 5cf5ffe worked for you. There has 
been no change in the code that calls PXE_OPCODE_RECEIVE_FILTERS since 
that commit. 

Could you please build commit 5cf5ffe with the same debug options 
(DEBUG=nii:3) and send the debug output from "ifopen net0"? 

Thanks, 

Michael
