There sometimes is questions how to run EFI code from bios mode, or bios code from EFI mode.
Since this is different types of environments (think trying to run a mac application on windows) this never* works.

EFI enabled machines have something called CSM (Compatibility Support Module) which when enabled allows for EFI firmware to enter bios mode.
This does generally not allow for EFI code to run bios code.
(* There have been reports of bios code being executed from EFI PXE boot - this is likely a bug/security flaw in that firmware)

thanks, so is there an sample on how to use ipxe.pxe file?

Hi, NiKiZe
Looks iPXE indeeds to have issue to do a Esxi installation with a UEFI BIOS. I tried it both on AMD and Intel platform. Is there any developer I can ask to help to fix it?
