Stuck iPXE initialising devices - .efi pxe boot

RE: Stuck iPXE initialising devices - .efi pxe boot
I've run into an issue with an ipxe.efi binary stopping/ failing on "initializing devices", but not with an snponly.efi build.

The Network card in question was a newer Broadcom/QLogic 20GbE adapter.

I suspect anything using the bnx/bnx2 driver family would have this problem; the driver code is not completely open source and I think the the failback mechanism in the ipxe.efi code can't cope with the hardware as a result; iPXE doesn't have a native driver as a result.

"Thus far, you have been adrift within the sheltered harbor of my patience..."
