No sir, not quite.  The bail point is the same but the error is different.

<pastes from the beginning>
Ethernet Card:
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95703A30) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] 
(PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT

Problem: Installing from PXE, fails to aquire DHCP address as Kickstart 
begins.

Summary:
1. PXE-Booting aquires DHCP w/ MAC matching
2. Kernel is passed over and Boots
3. Kickstart engages and knows to boot over HTTP, its first job is to 
aquire its address through DHCP.  The first broadcast is never handled 
and times out, thus causing a stop point for the user asking methodology 
for aquiring an address.
4. When you select OK to try DHCP again, it aquires, and the 
installation continues as it should.

I've seen this problem reported before, but never really seen an 
applicable solution.  In the DHCP logs I see a broadcast coming over the 
lines but I don't know why its not getting a response at this time and 
why it gets it on the second trial.  The Console logs:

    Sending DHCP request through device eth0
    Waiting for link
    5 seconds . . .
    Pump told us: no DHCP reply recieved.
