[gPXE] hang after "gPXE (PCI 08:00.0) Starting execution".

[Jerome Ibanes]

Hello,

I'm using an Intel PRO/1000 XT card with a gPXE 1.0.0 payload (boot rom).
I'm using AoE to provide my client with a block device to boot from, which
is exported by the dhcp+AoE server running Linux.

Upon boot, when I press CTRL+B, and then type "autoboot", almost
instantly the client boots from the AoE exported boot device, in other
words, everything works fine.

When I do not interrupt the boot process by pressing "CTRL+B", the PC
bios finishes its initialization and then displays:

  "gPXE (PCI 08:00.0) Starting execution"

and then hangs, nothing else is displayed.

What could be the issue?


Thank you,
J.
