Strange problem chaining ipxe krn from vesamenu.c32 - khanand - 2015-07-16 16:23
My issue is when chaining from the vesamenu.c32 menu the boot file download stalls unexpectedly usually on the last line "initrd boot64.wim" - it gets to x% then just stops.
Can anyone shed any insight?
If I break out to the iPXE prompt and chain Wimboot.ipxe directly everything works fine.

The issue was the VMXNET 3 driver in our ESX 4.1 environment.
