hi,
I'm running into the same problem with HP gen9 servers with pxelinux and
UEFI, getting the same message on the serial console:

>> Booting Embedded LOM 1 Port 1 : HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i Adapter - NIC (IPv4) 

>> Booting PXE over IPv4.

however after this it proceeds with loading ldlinux.e64 and the boot prompt is
displayed:

boot:
Loading debian-installer/amd64/linux... ok
Loading debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz...

looking at tcpdump, it is downloading the initrd (34983893 bytes) over tftp
however after a (good) while the system reboots and stops replying:

there might be two issues at play here, did anyone come across this?

thanks!
