 you saying you finally were able to chainload syslinux.efi on the HP??

 Some magic in dhcpd.conf:
 
        if option architecture-type = 00:09 {      
    filename "efi64/syslinux-87020-or.efi";
        option pxelinux.pathprefix "http://bla/efi64/";
        } elsif option
 architecture-type = 00:07 {      
    filename "efi64/ipxe-git87981.efi";
    } else {      
    filename "pxelinux.0";    
    }
<<<

I "think" in this case ipxe.efi probably "did not" chainload to pxelinux.efi

When your HP booted arch=07 retrieved ipxe.efi
ipxe.efi performs a new pxe "session" declaring arch=09
but at the end it is the FW which loads and run now syslinux.efi.

it looks like iPXE might still have the chainloading issue

Best,
