Hi Thomas,

I had the same issue after following that wiki and loading the grub2pxe =
from gpxe.=20

You can fix it by renaming the grub2pxe file to grub2pxe.0, then the =
pxestack of gpxe stays intact and it will try to load the needed mod's =
from your tftp server (next-server).
I didn't manage to get grub loadings its files over gpxe http yet tho... =
So if anyone else managed that, i would like to know how :D.=20

Best regards,

Rene Arends
