Two things for you to check:
1. Perhaps a firmware issue, on Debian I found a package named
"firmware-realtek".
2. I have several systems with 2 network cards and there is an
approximately 2 minute time-out when the second network card is not
connected to a network where it can grab an address. If this is your
situation, you can ignore the other network card with an option similar to:
ip=eth0:dhcp
in your boot configuration.

Hi,
I'm in the middle of a big leap to wheezy on my stations.
The faisrv itself is upgraded to wheezy,
I checked booting and installing squeeze from wheezy server,
everything went fine for the test stations.
Installs on dell optiplex 3010 machines were smooth (r8169 network
card I was a bit worried about...).
After that I decided to try on a new nfsroot, built for wheezy install
on the stations
Having built the nfsroot I find stations correctly booting from tftp
with kernel 3.2
(pxelinux file is
default fai-generated
label fai-generated
kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64
append initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot aufs nfsopts=-onfsvers=3
)
Kernel boots ok, initrd seems OK
The boot process apparently stops when trying to reconfigure the
network adapter
r8169...
'eth0 link is up'
and this does not proceed to the later stages.
Any hints on that?
Regards
Michal
