Title:
  Netboot installer appears broken in utopic

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  i boot ubuntu installer through iPXE like so :

  #!ipxe
  dhcp

  set 210:string http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/
  chain ${210:string}pxelinux.0

  
  This worked perfectly with trusty, fails on utopic due to "cannot load ldlinux.c32" error (file is present on the server). On both architectures. 

  My take is that it's a pxelinux bug, although i found reports on it on
  other pxelinux versions, and not this one.

  Steps to reproduce

  - build ipxe from source with make EMBED=menu ; where menu contains the aforementioned content
  - boot in qemu  (qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bin/ipxe.lkrn ) , obseve the problem
  - s/utopic/trusty/g 
  - rebuild ipxe
  - observe correct boot in qemu
