Thanks, I've managed to find that too (replied to my own message with that). > In summary, please ask Gerd to rebuild the ipxe binaries that are > bundled with upstream qemu such that they include those two iPXE patches > of ours (see the last reference). I've come across this bug with QEMU git master, so I think it is still relevant to fix it or at least should be included on the OVMF page or docs as a known problem. > You can also work around the issue with the following qemu option: > > -device virtio-net-pci,...,romfile= > > This will select virtio-net, plus disable the iPXE option ROM for it. > > OVMF has a builtin SimpleNetworkProtocol driver for virtio-net.

With the patched efi-e1000.rom attached to your message in the other thread I can get to starting syslinux.efi and get a menu and start booting but it still fails later when trying to access kernel and initrd from http (or if I try tftp it hangs during the larger transfer). I'll do some more tests (with your other patches and maybe the Intel binary driver) and will report on the syslinux mailing list, because it seems to belong more there now than here. Thanks for your help.
