PXE with VIA Rhine III VT6105 how?

hairyfeet

I've followed the instructions in the Alternative Install Guide 5. Diskless install using PXE boot5. But it seems like my VIA Rhine III (VT6105) card is unsupported by pxegrub(old etherboot drivers).

I've tried using rom-o-matic but to no avail. After the box receives an IP it just loops and asks for another IP.

If anyone have any tips on how to make this work it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try the syslinux bootloader as alternative to grub?

My solution was to not use pxegrub.

There are patches here for grub-0.95 that add support for more NICs.
