Hi Ady,
Thanks.
Yes, I followed
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589
to test.
However, somehow I had similar issue like this:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-June/020242.html
My screen only shows:
====================
Getting cached packets
My IP is 192.168.1.3
====================
(See attached file "uefi-netboot.png")
I am sure I use the precompiled binaries from 6.03-pre7 from kernel.org:
strings /tftpboot/nbi_img/bootx64.efi | grep -i "^syslinux 6.03"
Syslinux 6.03 (EFI; 6.03-pre7)
I also compared its sha1sum (attached file "sha1sum.txt") and confirmed
that.
>From the system log file (attached file "daemon-log.txt"), apparently
the uEFI x86_64 did try to fetch bootx64.efi and ldlinux.e64.
My dhcp, pxelinux, tftpd config files are attached, too. The files list
in /tftpboot/nbi_img/ is attached in file "tree.txt".
My server is running Debian Wheezy, and I tested the client on Lenovo
X230, and VMWare WS 10.0 (firmware = "efi")
Both clients gave me the same issue.
If I switch to boot from PXE BIOS by changing the setting in the BIOS,
it works.
Where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Steven.

# (b) There is an existing DHCP service which can provide IP address leases to the restored OS (either GNU/inux or MS Windows) in the client. Otherwise if you uncomment 'allow members of "DRBL-Client";', restored OS won't be able to lease IP address.
