Currently, PXE boot works on servers...These are the steps I took to try to set up IPXE...

1. Downloaded ipxe file using "wget http://boot.ipxe.org/undionly.kpxe" and put it into /tftpboot folder on the dhcp server

2. Configured dhcpd.conf file on the dhcp server by changing "filename "pxelinux.0"" to "filename undionly.kpxe"

When i try booting up a server, I think it just regular pxe boots...It doesn't say ipxe anywhere...

What else am i missing?

(There are also gPXE options at the top of the dhcpd.conf file...should I replace those with ipxe options?)

You can try DRBL, it will automate much of the process

I wanted to see if I could get ipxe working first

IPXE or GPXE is a way to boot not only to a normal pxe but a whole list of other ways.

I generally just make a floppy,cd,or usb to boot the system and it. Should boot just like a pxe boot but from the local media you made.
One of the best places for examples is the gpxe site. If you want to allow pxe to send the ipxe I think the example is there. You'd only do that if you wanted to then boot to ftp or iscsi or such.

Lemme know what you want to do or try exactly for more help.

I think this is what you are trying to do maybe.?? http://etherboot.org/wiki/pxechaining

I just followed the instructions from http://ipxe.org/howto/chainloading and downloaded undionly.kpxe using "wget http://ipxe.org/howto/chainloading"

Is that sufficient enough to get it working? or would I need to actually build the file like what http://ipxe.org/download says...

DRBL allow you to do that too. You can remotely select the media you want to boot from per MAC or per group.

What is supposed to happen is that your pxe gets what is basically a floppy image of ipxe from the server. At some point in the pxe process it should then start the floppy image (very generic statement). It should then be as if you locally booted the system from an ipxe. As to why it is failing I can't say. If you don't see the ipxe starting then maybe the file isn't being served. Or some file is out of place, might be some wrong setting, like keeppxe.

That is not a very good tutorial unless you are trying to re-flash intel nic rom's. Is that what you want to do?

I'd start with a gpxe or ipxe bootable media and see if you can then boot to the server (or web page or ftp) that you what the client to boot to.

It may be possible to add in support for ipxe to DRBL but I am not sure can do what you want to do alone.
