Hello,
I install Centos'es from PXE, with vmlinuz and initrd provided by images/pxeboot from the first CD of centos 3.4.
The server is a PowerEdge 1850 with two integrated e1000 nic interfaces.
So kernel is booting, then it comes to the screen which ask for one nic to do a dhcp query. I choose eth0, dhcp server reply well and then i get an ip address, dns'es, etc. And nothing else happen because the nic link is going down at this point !!! (no light, no way. )
I've tried with PXE install of centos 3.3, and all is working fine on this server....
Do you think there is a problem with the centos 3.4 "installation time" kernel ? I remember that centos 3.1 had problems about this nic too ...
Any ideas ?
Thank you !

Just installed a couple of Supermicro servers with e1000 nics this weekend using CentOS 3.4.
Have you tried PXE boot with ksdevice=link ?
