Hello again,
I have also experienced a similar problem, this seems to be with a
problem (for me at least) with the tg3 driver with Redhat As 3 update 6,
a problem we didn't have (and don't have) if we just use Redhat AS 3
(with no updates). This seems to be more of a problem with the vmlinuz
and the initrd for this release. As we didn't want ot re-build these, we
went back to using RedHat AS 3, which works.
I note, however that in RedHat AS 3 update 7, there has been an update
to this driver. I'm busy downloading the Isos so I can give it a go with
that, and see if it works.
Phil (again)

Morning,
Your issue might possibly be because of the switch that the machines are
connected too. Some (newer?) switches do some negotiations and speed
tests before clearing the port for use, this can cause the DHCP to time
out (as the network request doesn't get further than the port). I've had
this problem on a few machines here, but our network engineer simply
removed or decreased the timing for the port (sorry for the vague
answer, but I havn't seen the operation myself yet), and that seemed to
solve the problem
Hope that Helps,
Phil

We have not seen that error in the course of installing dozens of rh3
and rh4 instances on both dl380 and dl585 machines. We have had trouble
with the DHCP/PXE/tftp exchange failing due to too much lag time in the
repsonse.
