PXE EFI ESXi 8.0 differents Installer

Hi,

I'm here as I can't find the solution of my problem.
I'm unable to PXE ESXi uEFI 8.0 with the addition of the Mac Address for the hardware.

If I don't do the specification, it works.
Below the structure of my TFTP Folder :

In this configuration, I got this error :

If I rename boot.cfg.save to boot.cfgi in the TFTP root folder, it works, but it's not what I want.

I have checked on the hardware on which I want to deploy that the Interface used for PXE, is this Address MAC 00:0C:29:E9:36:72.

And the content of the cfg file is :

Any idea, advice ?

The question that comes to my mind is - what TFTP server do you use? 

Did you perform correct all preparation steps - for PXE installation?

I use CentOS Linux 7 (Core) Kernel 3.10.0-160.
In fact I was able to make it works in BIOS like I want, but in uEFI I'm stuck with this problem
