I'm trying to install CentOS 6.0 onto a machine with an X8SIL-F motherboard via PXE. However once it starts transferring install.img the install grinds to a halt or freezes. Sometimes I can access the other TTYs and sometimes I can't. The motherboard has Dual Intel 82574L NICs.<br />
<br />
I tried multiple motherboards, same issue.<br />
I tried putting in a Realtek PCI NIC and performing the install over that NIC, same issue.<br />
<br />
This motherboard has not had any issues with CentOS 5.4-5.6 PXE installs. It also has no issue installing Scientific Linux 6.0 so I don't think this is an upstream RHEL issue.<br />
<br />
An install of CentOS 6.0 on a Supermicro X9SCM-F using the 82574L has no issues.<br />

I'm willing to provide logs from the install but I'm not sure how I would do that as I don't have access to a shell during the install at this point. I can also provide remote access via KVM to a test server.
