Just as another data point, it seems to not run under PXE either, even on
a few-years-old pre-UEFI box.  An older memtest image did boot okay, but
was too old for something in that box's architecture.  At the time I
chalked it up to probably depending on something in a GRUB boot
environment and moved on, so I'm not sure there's a solution.
