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.
