We already have a lot of servers PXE+kPXE booting ESXi images through Autodeploy. We do however have a problem with QLogic QMD8262 cards that will by default not boot the ESXi image. They will fail the initial PXE boot and, the host will reboot so they get stuck in a boot loop.

If we instead manually enter the boot manager it will happily boot the PXE+kPXE images from Autodeploy.

We have tried to see if we can find any settings in the QLogic BIOS, but there are not much to find there.

Have anyone seen this before? Would like to find a better solution...
