Is it possible that the nic that is being used post PXE is not the same that is being used for pxe ? If so I would recommend to change the ksdevice from eth2 to the mac of the pxe system, that should work, and the same nic will be used regardless of how linux detects it Also I can’t remember the correct writing for the nfs: thingie, you might want to look that one up and make sure is fine.
