Hi Andrew,
Great, BTW, in fact, you may pxe boot via VF of Intel82576, however, Intel82576
SR-IOV network adapters
don't provide a ROM BIOS for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of
such a ROM is available,
and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, you need to configure guest XML like this:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address bus='XX' slot='XX' function='XX'/>
</source>
<boot order='1'/>
<rom bar='on' file='/xxxx/ipxe-808610ca.rom'/>
</hostdev>
You need to build a ipxe-808610ca.rom by yourself, if you're interested in this,
please refer to http://ipxe.org/.

Hi,
In the end the problem was SR-IOV enabled on the cards. I turned this off and
everything worked ok.
Im using HP 10G cards which are rebranded emulex.
0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev
01)
Thanks,
Andrew
