RE: Booting CentOS 7 via iPXE on UEFI (HP G9)
The message you are seeing occurs because the vmlinuz cannot find the initrd.

In a UEFI system, the EFI_STUB in the Kernel needs initrd to specified as a path. PCBIOS can "figure it out". Typically, "initrd=initrd.img" is enough. If you have multiple initrd files you may need to specify them as "initrd=initrd.img,drivers.ko" or "initrd=initrd.img initrd=drivers.ko"

Example:

Code:
#!ipxe
echo EFI or PCBIOS
initrd ${17}/Media-Depot/linux/CentOS/latest/EL/x86-64/OEM/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
chain ${17}/Media-Depot/linux/CentOS/latest/EL/x86-64/OEM/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img
"Thus far, you have been adrift within the sheltered harbor of my patience..."
