I have installed many DL{360,380,...} g2 and g3, all of them worked just
fine.
You might have to adjust your dhcp timeout, since it takes a while for
the NIC to initialize.
Also, I assume you are using /dev/cciss/c?d? device and not /dev/sd?

Thanks - I would never have thought of that. I'll try it. 
 
For the record the target install is on a standard production HP 
ProLiant system (indeed the lab is at HP). Booting from a CD works just 
fine but when I do a PXE boot it can't find any disks. Using the exact 
same PXE install with an old Pavilion with IDE disks works just fine. 
 
I'll report any success or failure.
