I have a Linux Server running DHCP, HTTP and ATFTP that I use for supporting PXE booting hosts for automating our ESXi deployments.
We have some new servers that default to UEFI PXE Boot. I can change the BIOS to Legacy BIOS as a work-around. But I'd lilke to get the UEFI
I've read the various documenation and have the mboot.efi file setup, as well as updated dhcpd.conf.
Checking the server logs, I see the host pull over the mboot.efi and the boot.cfg file.
After a few seconds I get the following message on the screen.
Configuration error while parsing /tftpboot/boot//boot.cfg
Fatal error: 19 (Timeout)
Here is the copy of the boot.cfg file...

The 'esxi65' directory is in the same location as boot.cfg.
I don't know how else to get additional information to help fix the boot.cfg problem.
