I ran into this same issue with the same machines. We have a kernel which should work... I've posted it at:

Just replace your kernel and initrd.gz files in /tftpboot/ with the ones you download and that should work.
On a performance note:
Redhat will use the tg3 driver for those cards. OSCAR will choose the bcm5700 driver on the clients. Both drivers work, but the bcm5700 driver is buggy. Also, I think the tg3 driver may take advantage of the hardware checksumming on the NIC, increasing the performance by 15% or so.
Hope that helps-
Jeremy
