Hi,
Got some new hardware today: asus p10s-m motherboard.

https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P10S-M/


It seems to have intel NICs, and legacy CSM mode. UEFI pxe booting works
OK. However UEFI does not work chaining into boot.salstar.sk, with some
message about bad or incorrect executable format.



As for legacy BIOS mode, here is the output where it fails:

Press Ctrl+B for iPXE cmdline



Not seem to matter at all whether have plugged into NIC 1 or NIC 2, it
always reports the same thing about 'net0', and with same error message.
Any help appreciated.
