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?

Quote:I also burned the iPXE ISO on a CD and booted from it, and in this case the client does boots and detects the SAN device, but the boot process is interrupted when Linux tries to mount the root partition, because apparently it cannot find it. I modified the fstab to reference particions the former way instead of by UUID, but the same thing happens.

Do you have the relevant kernel modules for AoE included in your initrd?
