iPXE ESXi 6.0u2 on UEFI -> PSOD

[webminster]

I found this thread will searching for similar issue the last couple of days. Am trying similar process using ipxe.efi or snponly.efi (fresh build from git). I'm not getting any PSOD, all that is happening is the ESXi 6.0 installer happily loads all the modules over HTTP, then freezes. No further messages or movement. It's at the part where it'd show "relocating modules and starting kernel." But that never appears.

Have tried adding ignoreHeadless=TRUE to boot options, doesn't help. Like you, have seen that booting bootx64.efi (viz mboot.efi) does work, although I guess it's downloading modules via TFTP. At least it does boot into the installer prompts.

Since there's no diagnostic output, I can't tell if it hates the video environment somehow, or it's dying initializing the modules that were loaded through ipxe.

I've only tried the HP ESXi 6.0 update 2 so far... I'll try U1 for completeness. But you're definitely not imagining this.
