After I sent that email, I remembered I had the same problem when I set up the J-125s last year (we set them up every year for about 4 weeks just for new student orientations). I had hit up the irc channel for help and someone from there (Jim, maybe?) sent me a different kernel image, which worked. The issue has something to do with the tagged kernels, which etherboot uses. Hopefully, Jim or someone can clarify the problem or correct me.
I did recover the image they had sent me and it definitely boots. The version of that kernel is 2.6.20, whereas the one in Ubuntu 8.04 is 2.6.24. I'm not sure yet if this will cause me problems, as I'm struggling with other issues right now. Hope that helps a bit. If you want that image, let me know and I can send it your way.
