Gerardo,
You rock, you totally totally rock!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to get it to do that as it's the most critical "next step" but now I am dying to see how you did it. I think your right about the AMD NIC device driver, it seems to be the default.
I have managed to recompile it (x86 CPU, vmware professional vm etc.) a couple of times and the compile works fine although haven't tried a custom image (yet).
Regards,
Johnathon

hi, I just uploaded a screenshot showing SqueakNOS scanning the pci bus. click on the images in the swikit: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1762
My next thing on the list is to implement vmware's ethernet card, I have three options (as you can see from the screenshot):
AMD Am79C790, PCnet Lance PCI Ethernet Controller Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller VMWare Inc. VMXNET PCI Ethernet Adapter
I'm going to work on the first (AMD), mainly because I think it's the most common of the three to exist outside vmware, and also, and probably more important, because GRUB has support for it, and I can get the minimum information to make it work out of GRUB's sources :-)
any ideas, as usual, are welcome. gere
PS: I'd love to know if anybody managed to recompile SqueakNOS, or to rebuild or reboot with a custom .image. Or if anybody is working on something, or anything else related _______________________________________________ SqueakNOS mailing list SqueakNOS@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/squeaknos
