Hi,

I tested the following config:

DEFAULT AutoInstall
PROMPT 0
LABEL AutoInstall
  KERNEL http://server/vmlinuz64
  APPEND initrd=http://server/initrd64.img 
root=live:http://server/LiveOS/squashfs.img quiet lang=en keymap=de-latin1 
systemd.unit=rescue.target system.unit=rescue.target system.unit=rescue.target

I use VMWare Player 5.02 build 1031769 on Win2k8 R2 64bit.
I found that the last working version is 6.02-pre1 but beginning with pre2 
and also latest version 6.02-pre5 it fail to boot.

I have a wireshark trace but it's to big to sent it to the mailing list

If it is http://rosa.stappers.nl/ff/boot-efi-s100.cap
then is at packet 2242 the client ( .243) started to send
  "TCP Dup ACK" of packet 2241


Thing I what to mention is that there packets of sizes bigger as 9000bytes.
So large as jumbo frame.

Are you sure that 6.02-pre1 worked? There was only one commit between
6.02-pre1 and 6.02-pre2 and it shouldn't have affected anything at
runtime.

Could you check your versions again?
