Hi All, We tried UEFI IPXE boot with an Intel igb CNA. The device ID was 10c9. We built 808610c9.efi. However while trying the UEFI iPXE boot using the .efi file we could see that the client is able to successfully download the 808610c9.efi file. The client hangs after that. It never tries to get the bootx64.efi (required for booting to the EFI mode) file after that.
We were trying the UEFI boot with Sles11sp164. Has anyone executed chain loading using iPXE in UEFI environment?

You need to use the PCI IDs for your Emulex card instead. > Is there any specific way to generate the binary for Emulex adapter, which > is not been specified in e1000e_ich8lan.c, In this case how do we build > the driver image specific for this adapter. Emulex adapters are not (as far as I am aware) direct equivalents of Intel e1000 adapters. You need to create an iPXE driver for Emulex adapters (or pay to have one created).
