It wasn't the NIC though, it turns out the machine was booting but complaining during POST about one CPU. I assumed this would be because it had a VRM for a 2nd CPU but no actual processor in there. I was wrong. Previously it ran FC2 fine with a uni-processor kernel. I reseated both processors which cleared the POST errors, reinstalled and that sorted the problem! The installer noted both processors and installed the correct SMP kernel, I couldn't be bothered fighting to get the RPM installed in a chrooted rescue environment. No doubt it's no-able but probably would've taken as long. :) Will.
