Thanks for doing the bisect! Could you describe the problem? Specifically, what do you see on-screen? > Also, I have a problem on AMI that doesn't support PMM, with ROM bigger > than ~58400 bytes.

If the ROM were attached to a NIC (rather than embedded within the BIOS) then using a .mrom image might help. As it is, if the BIOS doesn't support PMM then iPXE can't do anything to reduce its consumption of option ROM space.
