Hi, Just a "me too" report. I can confirm this to be a problem on most of our Gigabit Cisco switches (I have to owe you the exact type id-s, I'm now working from home) and our Foundry core router. Tried all configurations with Spanning tree disabled etc. No avail. We get our kickstart stages through TFTP/etherboot/DHCP. Same problem: First stage (load PXE image) OK Second stage (load etherboot image) OK Third stage (get filename paramater from DHCP to NFS repo) FAIL On the server side we see (DHCP-REQUEST --> DHCP-ACK)* The e1000 just doesn't want to see the ACK... Put a 10/100 HUB in between and everything works fine. I'm not so sure if this isn't a driver problem instead of kickstart related.
