What is the _exact_ error message you get, full message, case sensitive!
It says:
iPXE(PCI XX:XX:XX) starting execution...00000000 FA000000 0000AA55
Installation failed...cannot continue.

What are you actually building?
I am actually trying to build an option rom that will work for the legacy boot.
Where are you uploading the ROM?
I am flashing it on the hardware
Have you tried with normal 32bit builds?
I have not tried that yet. I assumed that i would need x86_64 as a build target. Like i mentioned before the make command i am using is make bin-x86_64-pcbios/optionrom.rom. I have even tried with mrom the same problem occurs.
Have you tried a .usb build first and that boots ok on the same hardware?
No. i have not tried this yet. But when i built the x86_64-efi.optionrom.efirom that works just fine in the EFI mode. I am trying to build the optionrom for legacy mode boot and i am not sure what i am doing wrong.


One thing i did have to build my mrom/rom images was to do -fno-pie as without it my ipxe wwasnt even compiling.
So "\nInstallation failed - cannot continue\n" comes from
https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/blob/3946a...fix.S#l993
Which was introduced in https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff...927eedfbf4 which might give a few hints on what to check next.
