I have a particularly stubborn DL380 G5 that refuses to be PXE-booted/net-installed
I suspect a FUBAR from the guy that manages the DNS/DHCP, but I need more evidence.
When it tries to PXE-boot, I get "PXE-E11: ARP Timeout" a few times and then,
maybe, it will proceed.
I've seen issues somewhat similar on switches that take a long time to run
spanning tree protocol checks before bringing up the port. Disabling that
(port-fast in cisco lingo I think) helps.
