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.

Still not telling us what you are actually building

I am flashing it on the hardware

And which hardware is that?, the nic you are running on, what nic is that?

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.

Don't use 64bit pcbios builds unless you have to and understand why you have to.

No but the same hardware and UEFI build and boot works just fine.

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.

Before burning anything - always be sure it works without possibly destroying hardware by flashing it, it's simple enough to test with USB.

I will try this and let you know.

So you where not telling us this why?
And why are you not including the error message of that build?!?!?!?

The build error i am getting with removing -fno-pie is :
[PARSEROM]
[DEPS] arch/x86/drivers/net/undiisr.S

I am testing this on a Cisco UCS server so i assumed that i need the bin-x86_64-pcbios builds. Please correct me if i am wrong.
