Hi
there was some work for skge in this year's and last year's Google
Summer of Code(GSoC).
To this point none of the two attempts made it into mainline.

Although not in mainline, I think I remember successfully booting
linux using the first driver which can be found at
http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/mdeck/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/skge

To my knowledge no one is currently working on a skge driver for gPXE.
Keep in mind that there could be some bugs left and the driver might
not work at all for you. If you know how to code in C and do some
debugging on your own it would certainly help.

I suggest rebasing the driver to a newer gPXE version:

git clone git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git
cd gpxe
git remote add mdeck git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mdeck/gpxe.git
git checkout -b skge mdeck/skge
git rebase master

Those commands should add Michael Decker's repository as remote
repository 'mdeck' to your gPXE repository and should rebase the skge
code against the most recent gPXE code. All commands are untested and
there are possibly some merge conflicts. If you don't want to resolve
the merge conflicts then just start again and skip the 'git rebase
master'.
You can continue to build gPXE as usual, like:

make bin/skge.usb

Please let us know how it goes

Thomas
