Try getting rid of "spanning-tree" checks. You are very unlikely to have network loops in your own lab. Some switches take 30s to do the checks in which time you are growing older. Some bootloaders get tired after 10s of waiting and give up. That killed me once. I was booting ThinStation CDs and they had a 10s timeout whereupon the techies installed new switches and the whole lab could not boot....<BR>
