What does the console log look like from the network-disk-booted node look like? At what point did the network-disk-booted system stop? Did it shellout (drop back to the shell? Did the e1000 module load? Did the network come up? Did the dhcp request start? Were there messages in the dhcp server log file (there should be if the server saw the request)? Did the client actually get an IP? Can you successfully use the bootdisk on the node w/o the gigabit NIC? Can you successfully PXE boot the node w/o the gigabit NIC? -- David N.
