Computer hanging at iPXE initialising devices...

[blanalex]

On HP dc5000 computers iPXE hangs at "iPXE initialising devices..." whenever a build a non-standard PXE bootstrap loader image from rom-o-matic.eu

By "non-standard", I mean when I select the advanced mode on the rom-o-matic.eu website, select any PXE bootstrap loader image target (.pxe, .kpxe, .kkpxe, .kkkpxe) but leave all the other options at their default setting. If I select the undionly.kpxe standard build, the computer boots fine.

However, I need a .kkpxe image because I'm chainloading from PXELINUX and passing the boot script name with the cached DHCP response.

If I boot directly to ipxe.kkpxe (bypassing PXELINUX), the computer hangs the same way.
