| 23:10.13 | whaaaaa | i cant get the !PXE-structure from BIOS :( |
| 23:10.23 | whaaaaa | has anyone coded stuff like this before? |
| 23:11.30 | whaaaaa | what i am doing is this: i have written a floppy-disk-bootloader (MBR) that loads my !PXE-software-to-be into RAM... |
| 23:13.28 | whaaaaa | ...and then the !PXE-software-to-be tries to locate the !PXE-structure by generating a 0x1A-interrupt & iff that fails it tries to locate the !PXE-structure by searching through BIOS ROM as specified by the "if you are in protected mode and cannot use interrupt 0x1A, do this"-section in the Intel tutorial... |
| 23:13.34 | whaaaaa | but it fails :( |
| 23:13.44 | whaaaaa | it simply cannot find any !PXE-structure at all! :( :( |
| 23:15.13 | whaaaaa | and i know it is there, because the damn computers (both of them) can boot from the network via "PXE" and it cleary says that it has a UNDI-thing... |
| 23:15.22 | whaaaaa | aaaah.. i am almost to the point of tears. |
| 23:15.24 | whaaaaa | :,( |

| 23:46.03 | whaaaaa | Nirkus: do you know how to get the address of the !PXE-structure /without/ using the ES:BX-value? I am booting from a floppy disk (for now, if things goes well i will change that and boot from ROM.. hopefully :)) |
| 23:46.29 | whaaaaa | I can't find the structure by searching 0x10000 - 0xA0000 :( |
