RE: Why Esxi 6.5 or 6.7 fail to start setup GUI via iPXE
My point was not really about snponly.efi vs ipxe.efi.

The thing I noticed was that when I used a signed iPXE binary for UEFI booting, I did not have this issue. No change to iPXE scripts or anything else was required. Just replacing the iPXE.efi file with a signed one did the trick.

It seems that mboot.efi is able to load the modules into memory just fine, but when it tries to hand control over to the actual kernel, things break down - on some hardware, but not all. As I said, I don't have an issue with Dell servers, but with Lenovo I do.
