    I'm attempting a RHAS 2.1 pxeboot NFS kickstart on an HP DL-740. This
    configuration works fine on a variety of other Compaq/HP servers
    (1850/320/360/380/580/etc). However, attempts to kickstart this server
    die with a "red screen of death" and an error message of "Illegal
    OpCode".

    So far, I've gathered that it locks up right after loading the vmlinuz
    and initrd.img from the dhcp server. However, this happens *before* the
    install attempts to nfs mount the / directory. I've verified that this
    is not a network issue by booting into rescue mode and mounting nfs (and
    tcpdump-ing on the nfs server). At this point, it appears to be a
    problem with the cciss driver for the internal array in the pxeboot
    images.

    Red Hat has asked me to try this config with the RHAS 2.1 Update 2
    images. I was able to successfully install via CD, but the pxeboot NFS
    kickstart still fails in the same way. Has anyone ever seen anything
    like this? Neither google nor RH's bugzilla were at all helpful.

    TIA,
