I'm having trouble getting kickstart running properly as part of a PXE

The nic in question is an intel e1000.
I suspect the flavour of e1000 is not known to the driver. Which RHEL3
update are you using? What are the PCI ids of the card (lspci)?

Yep. If RHEL3 is a 2.4 kernel and the e1000 is a late model NIC, then
this explains your problem. Please look here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115212. The
problem was solved for FC1 by moving to FC2 and a 2.6 kernel. It would
take them some work to fix it in a 2.4 kernel as noted in the bug
report. It was so rude when I experienced the bug ;-)
