I have a large set of Dell 620 blades fully populated with memory and duel socket CPUs, Centos6.4 image.
I have a kickstart that I am using to pxe boot 36 blades. I have two internal drives which are raid1 (two disks formed into one, no redundancy), not san attached In the first set, 9 successfully completed. 7 more built correctly after trying another pxe boot. 2 just wont pxeboot

Any idea why this would happen with identical hardware, identical kickstart/image, inside the same blade chassis. Any idea what to test.
Nasty thoughts: look at one that's gone to grub, and from the grub command line, try root (<tab>). Then try kernel \vm<tab>
I'm just wondering if either they're not pointing to the same UUID, or if they're looking at /dev/sda, and some of them have enumerated it so that it's /dev/sdb, or whatever. Also, I wonder about the possibility of a race issue, if they're all trying to come up at the same time.
