Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The dhcp configuration failed. Since I used the network install, I got
the initial image by tftp . Then, after selecting the network
interface, the hardware address went to 00:00:00:00:00:00
~ # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

dmesg complained a lot about :
eth0: Tx timeout - resetting
SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted.
SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS[caa0]
eth0: Tx timeout - resetting
SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted.
SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS[caa0]

SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted.
SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS[caa0]
SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted.
SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS[caa0]
After a reboot, the harware address went back to normal getting the
initial image then going blank again when running dhcp...
tcpdump showed no packet during dhcp try.
Thanks a lot
