The following Seabios commit breaks gpxe boot with e1000:

commit a5826b5ad482f44d293387dc7513e5e98802a54e

   Add simple cooperative threading scheme to allow parallel hw init.
     Enable system for running hardware initialization in parallel.
   The yield() call can now round-robin between "threads".
   Rework ata controller init to use a thread per controller.
   Make sure internal drives are registered in a defined order.
   Run keyboard initialization in a thread.
   Rework usb init to use a thread per controller.

Any thoughts Kevin?

Before this commit, the gPXE e1000 rom was able to successfully netboot when selected as a boot device. With this commit, we get a "device not found" error within gPXE when launched as a boot device but when run from the gPXE command line, it launches successfully.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
