I trying to create a PXE network installation environment.  I am having
issues with
the Broadcom 5700 driver on my Dell PowerEdge 2650.   Since it is a PXE
installation
I am passing the boot information from a hexadecimal file under /tftpboot.
The install
works for my desktop machines, but not the server.

The RedHat release that I using is ES 3.  Do I need a special boot image for
this to
work?
