Thanks for a secondary confirmation. I tried this on three difference models
of Dell hardware which made me think it was a regression. I'll wait for a fix.
Could you try temporarily reverting
http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/757ab98
and see if that fixes your Dell systems?
I have had several reports of that commit (which is required for ARM
support) causing problems on some x86 systems. Unfortunately I have not
been able to reproduce the problem myself.
