[ipxe-devel] iMac 2007 silently fails booting kernel

[Linus Lüssing]

I also extracted the 64-bit ELF vmlinux from the vmlinuz (bzimage)
and tried booting that. However this gave me an "Exec format error"
again, apparently.

With UEFI and an Intel Core 2 Duo I should be able to chainload
into a 64-bit ELF from the 64-bit ipxe.efi, shouldn't I? Or am I
missing something obvious?
