I recall that there was one Cisco switch we used in testing that caused warnings about RX/TX flow control. We eventually learned it was something that could be managed at the switch or by the NIC, but not both. I seem to remember hearing that a piece of Cisco software on the switch could address the issue. But instead we switched to a cheap switch without any management and that enabled better performance.
I don't recall dealing with cpio before, but perhaps I did once and then did further development with basic initrd images afterwards.

Sorry, I didn't notice you are using floppy images - which are different than PXE boot images.
I'm using the PXE images actually.
But I figured it out. I bunzipped the initrd and then did: cpio -i < initrd.out
then I could replace /bin/busybox my own verison of busybox (compiled with CONFIG_REBOOT=y) and then do: genromfs -d <dir i cpio'ed to> -f initrd
That did the job It's working now. But the Cisco-switch still sucks :( But with these latest hacks I think I can make it all play nicely
Thanks for all your help
