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

In the second set I had 11 fail and 5 succeed and the two I tried again 
failed.
When they fail, they go to GRUB. I try booting from disk from the drac 
and still get grub
It looks like the complete centos kickstart occurs as it goes through 
the whole install before rebooting and failing.

Any idea why this would happen with identical hardware, identical 
kickstart/image, inside the same blade chassis.
Any idea what to test.
