Hi Matt,
Unfortunately I still fail to boot either EFI 64 or EFI 32 bit files past the
-pre11/13 era.

6.03-pre18 BIOS: lpxelinux.0: boots okay TFTP kernels.
6.03-pre18 BIOS: lpxelinux.0: boots okay TFTP & HTTP kernels.
6.03-pre18 EFI32: fails - downloads /pxelinux.e32, /ldlinux.e32, tries
/syslinux/ldlinux.e32, tries /boot/isolinux/ldlinux.e32, tries
/syslinux/ldlinux.e32, goes back to /ldlinux.e32 - then boot fails
6.03-pre18 EFI64: fails - exactly same as per EFI32 above but all .e64 instead
of .e32

Cheers!
Andrew
