PXE Via Rhine II (8201) no net boot

[contink]

It's that usual RIS fun and games...

 

I have a bunch of ASUS - A7V8X-X board based system which supposedly have PXE bootrom capability in them but so far I haven't been able to get them to even try and boot.

 

Manual is no help so I've tried the following:

- Flash to latest bios

- Set LAN BootRom to enabled

- Set LAN to...

 

 

 

EDIT BEFORE POSTING..

 

Ok.. I'm a bloody idiot.. So someone else can learn my lesson a lot easier.

 

The key to this little experiment is to:

- Go to BIOS

- ADVANCED Tab

- Onboard LAN Boot ROM - ENABLED

- Save and Exit

- Back into BIOS again

- BOOT tab

- Select the INT18 Network option

- Hit ENTER

- Choose the "Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0" option

- Save and exit again

 

You probably will need to reorder the boot so the Intel UNDI thing is first too but you get the idea..

 

Where I went wrong was in assuming that the options displayed in the boot order were the only ones... Doh! :oops:

Yeah I have some similar boards. They can be a bit confusing at first. Some of mine were set to some weird network boot protocol at first which completely threw me off.
