RE: Using iPXE to chain load Windows PE shows blank screen in Dell notebook
I think the relative paths are different: iPXE and PXELINUX.0 behave nearly opposite when it comes to relative paths.

Refer to this link: http://www.ipxe.org/cmd/chain

pxelinux.0 always looks to the URI of the root of the TFTP directory (all paths are relative to tftp://192.168.0.1)

iPXE (undionly.kpxe) when chainloading the paths are relative to the chainloaded path. (tftp://192.168.0.1/windows.pe/pxeboot.0)

The problem is when you are chainloading, the pxeboot.0 is passed the absolute path of tftp://192.168.0.1/windows.pe instead of "falling back" to tftp://192.168.0.1

I think if you copy the PE Sub-Directories into the tftp://192.168.0.1/windows.pe directory it will work.
