Re: [Unattended] Difficulties building from SVN and firmware loading

Hi again ! Jason, thanks for your help, I've successfully compiled
unattended on gentoo, and my dell vostro 430 with BCM57780 nic has managed
to start and find the network.

But, i had some trouble to do it, so i though i'd better share:

Jason, you told to use
CFLAGS="-march=i486" make

well that didn't work for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I had to edit
the Makefile in the unattended/linuxboot and change in the glibc section:
-march=i386 by i486

another thing, i had to emerge some tools:

emerge sys-fs/mtools
# for mcopy
emerge app-cdr/cdrtools
# for mkisofs

I hope this will help !

Anyway thanks again for this great tool !
