Describe the bug
Howdy, it seems the ipxe image for packet wasn't updated when the switching to version 2.x as it seems to load netboot.xyz-packet.efi (or .kpxe) show it's version 1.04 and then attempt to download version 2.x again and continues to do that indefinitely.

This is happening on both uefi and legacy booting systems.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Login to app.packet.com
  2. Deploy a server with custom ipxe set to https://boot.netboot.xyz
  3. Watch SOS

Expected behavior
Load netboot.xyz image and display menus

SOS Output

Thanks for the ticket, I ran across this a few days ago and submitted the fix:

It should be released this week in 2.0.4.

Ah, should've done a blame on those. I looked at those files and everything seemed right. Thanks!
