Set up grub with --enable-tulip; loaded boot sector for win2k over tftp and chainbooted to it. As windows loads, it locks up as it tries to initialize its devices (progress bar about half way). Reproduced on different machines and slightly different NIC revisions. My guess is that the crappy windows driver is expecting the NIC to be in power-up state, but since grub has used the NIC, it confuses the windows driver and locks. Problem was resolved when I used a different chipset NIC. Perhaps reset the NIC or PCI bus or something just before booting to make sure the cards are in a power-up-like state that an OS or driver might expect? |

We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Unfortunately, GRUB 2 doesn't have network support yet, although there's ongoing work to implement it. If you want to help on that, please contact <grub-devel@gnu.org>.
In the meantime, this bug doesn't apply. I'm closing it.
