This can make it difficult to visually distinguish between the error cases of failing to start executing C code and failing to initialise a device. Add a "gPXE initialising devices..." message. The trailing ellipsis indicates to the user that this may take some time, and the presence of the message indicates to the developer that relocation etc. all succeeded. --- diff --git a/src/core/main.c b/src/core/main.c index 120f87f8b..e72b8c902 100644 --- a/src/core/main.c +++ b/src/core/main.c @@ -37,6 +37,9 @@ static struct feature features_end[0] __table_end ( struct feature, features ); __asmcall int main ( void ) { struct feature *feature; + /* Some devices take an unreasonably long time to initialise */ + printf ( PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME " initialising devices...\n" ); + initialise(); startup();
