Re: gPXE chainloading hangs at "gPXE initialising devices..."

You might try gpxelinux.0, which is part of the Syslinux package:

     http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/

Just download the latest tarball, and look inside the gpxe/ subdirectory 
for gpxelinux.0.

It is basically undionly.kkpxe + pxelinux.0, so it should do the same 
thing.  If it doesn't it would be interesting to know why.

The other thing to try is another NIC or machine.  What kind of machine 
is this?  ( CPU/BIOS ).

Some things to try,
