Ah, I see. Well, as I said in previous mail, our support for using PXE callbacks is a temporary hack. Our long-term goal is to replace it completely with standalone free drivers. So in this case, we'd use gPXE all the same but with a more efficient (and less error-prone) interface :-) That said, we're still going to carry with legacy support for a while, so if someone wants to debug this and figure out what's wrong, that'd be most welcome. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
