Hello. I played with UEFI PXE booting the other day, and as usual, used qemu/kvm virtual machine for initial testing/debugging, because it is way easier and faster for this task than using a real hardware. However, it looks like either qemu or {pxe,sys}linux 6.03 is buggy, -- the two does not play well together. When booting, the system successfully loads syslinux.efi, at least the tftp server

Replying to http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-November/022804.html . After about half a year there's a solution to this problem, outlined here: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-05/msg05348.html It looks like the bugs are in ipxe. The two patches for ipxe are now part of qemu source now so qemu should come with working ipxe roms which allows booting over network in EFI mode. When (and if) these bugfixes will be applied to ipxe is a different question. Thanks, /mjt
