Hi All,<br>
Do we have any readme that suggests how we can execute iPXE UEFI boot?<br>
We tried UEFI IPXE boot with an Intel igb CNA. The device ID was 10c9. We built 808610c9.efi. However while trying the UEFI iPXE boot using the .efi file we could see that the client is able to successfully download the.efi file. The client hangs after that. It never tries to get the bootx64.efi (required for booting to the EFI mode) file after that.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
We were trying the UEFI boot with Sles11sp164.<br>
Has anyone executed chain loading using iPXE in UEFI environment?<br>
<br>
</div>Regards<br>
Sanjeev<br>

8086:10de is an Intel e1000 card. You need to use the PCI IDs for your Emulex<br>
card instead.<br>

<br>
Emulex adapters are not (as far as I am aware) direct equivalents of Intel<br>
e1000 adapters. You need to create an iPXE driver for Emulex adapters (or pay<br>
to have one created).<br>
