Could you be more specific? What does iPXE display as the "Next server", "Filename" and "Root path"? Does it attempt to boot from the AoE root path? Is there an error message? What (exactly) is the error message?

Allright, here it is:

Code:

iPXE 1.0.0+ (8e4faa) -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE bzImage ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT Menu

Hmm... I was under the impression that iPXE already had support for AoE. Both the server and image certainly have all the required kernel modules and packages. Do I need to take extra steps then? If so, please point me to the relevant manual.

P.S. In the original message, I used in dnsmasq settings a fictitious MAC address (00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E) for illustration purposes only, but the actual configuration file has the correct MAC address, as seen in the log.
