Does iPXE detect your script as a script? Try downloading your script using kernel http://x.x.x.x/path/to/your/script.ipxe and check that "imgstat" shows the type of the image as "Script" rather than "PXE". If there's a problem with the "#!ipxe" magic at the start of the script (for example, if you created the script using an editor that saves in UTF-16) then iPXE will not detect the image as a script, and will treat it as a PXE NBP containing executable x86 code. This would almost certainly crash the machine immediately, which is what you are seeing.
