FWIW, you have not mentioned specifically updating to BIOS version 
A11 before trying A15.

Important Information

 1. Please note that if the A01 BIOS is currently installed on your 
system you must
 first apply the P02 patch (E6510P02.EXE) before upgrading to this 
BIOS.
2. Please note that if the A08 or before A08 BIOS is currently 
installed on your system
 you must first update to A09 BIOS and then flash to the latest A-rev 
BIOS.
3. Please note that if the A10 or before A10 BIOS is currently 
installed on your system
 you must first update to A11 BIOS and then flash to the latest A-rev 
BIOS.

So P02, A09, and A11 seem to be EACH a MUST.

Regarding the speed, is there any difference between pxelinux.0 and 
lpxelinux.0?

Just in case... Are you also updating the corresponding c32 files to 
the matching version of the bootloader (specially ldlinux.c32)?

Ady.
