From 3e220aa73eb135f2080a09d7a3e68343d7d1d7ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Brown Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 03:48:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [main] Print an "initialising devices" banner Some devices take a very long time to initialise. 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. --- src/core/main.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/core/main.c b/src/core/main.c index 120f87f8..e72b8c90 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();
