pxe on IBM x366

[GABRIEL KAPITANY]

Hi,

I'm using a linux RHEL 3.0 AS Update6 for the image.
 
In the mean time I figured that the timeout might came
from the network card settings so instead of
connecting through a switch I've used a crossover
cable an the install worked fine.

I'll try to play with the options: line_speed=100 and
full_duplex=1, this might fix the problem.

Thanks,
Gabriel
