Hello Dave, If you still have some of those blades to install, please do the next one with only one interface connected to a network switch and please report back. Thing I would like to known is if Debian-Installer defaults to the active NIC. D-I has program code to do so, but I haven't seen it working myself yet, I have only seen reports from people un-aware of that nifty functionality in D-I. Cheers Geert Stappers P.S.
