Please can you try over_voltage=1 or over_voltage=2. There haven't been any changes to the network code in start.elf so I suspect this is related to DVFS
Also could you try test firmware from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=262649#p1599457
I've tried over_voltage=1/over_voltage=2 and the firmware at the link above. Both do not continue the pxe boot after loading fixup4.dat.
Just to clarify, I have been only changing start4.elf and fixup4.dat on the tftpboot server. Using just these 2 files from commit https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commit/8bb38ef0267ab09d5ff6f2c3b48fff44cb69ade8 continues to load files from tftp and proceed with boot.
Therefore, there must have been some differences between that commits' start4.elf and the ones above it?
We use network boot in the CI system so we can confirm that it is working in that firmware version. Some suggestions
Do you get the rainbow splash-screen, it might take a minute or two and what's the status of the activity (green) LED ?
I'd have to go out and get a usb serial cable to see what else is going on..

Alternatively, if you have a second Pi and some patch cables you could set it up as a UART receiver:
enable_uart=1
is in config.txt
.console=serial0,115200
is in cmdline.txt
, change it to xconsole=serial0,115200
or delete it.$ stty -F /dev/serial0 115200 clocal -crtscts
$ cat /dev/ttyAMA0
We found the bug in the firmware + CI test. There's a firmware fix in the pipeline. We'll update this bug once rpi-update is ready.

Thats great! I just got some patch cables and could only see the following from another pi receiver:
GENET STOP: 0 Starting start4.elf @ 0xcec00200
Yep, that's the issue. The firmware gets the wrong ethernet state and gets stuck
Confirmed the recent commit fixes this issue.
Using start4.elf and fixup4.dat from any commit at and above https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commit/f0fdb006abe402210fba5873c4328f9839c8480f will cause PXE netboot to hang after loading fixup4.dat from TFTP. Wireshark shows no further response after this.
Replacing with files from previous commits allows the boot to continue without issues.
