I experienced the same symptoms as the original poster with an Ultra
Enterprise 1 with a CentOS 3 (Red Hat Advanced Server 3) Linux installation.
When I switched the Install Server to a Solaris 8 x86 box, it worked
fine. Note that I did not move the (Solaris) Boot Server - this
remained on the Linux box. Since NFS problems have been reported
before, I suspect this was the problem again. I did see NFS traffic
going across the wire when snooping with tcpdump, so this sounded logical.
