Funny, I'm trying to do the exact same thing (DS 3000)
I'm using "r8168-2.6.18-53.el5-i686-x86_64.img"

I got a LARA, a Java-based remote console. But I can't switch consoles
with that thing ('Alt' is caught on my local machine).
I'm booting with (shortened):
'linux dd method=http:// nousb noipv4 ip= netmask= gateway= dns='
If I do that with the 64bit vmlinuz/initrd.img, the system asks me where
the driver disk is located, loads it and complains that there's no
driver for the necessary hardware (ethernet).
With the 32bit version, everything works fine.

Looks exactly the same here in 2.6.18-53.el5. But unfortunatly,
"i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux"
