192.30.105.201 is the server for everything (dhcp, pxe, suse install)
After this, I get a message that the SUSE installation source cannot be found. When trying to set it up by hand (nice it does that), I see that the default values it offers are the ones I expect (despite the probable DHCP oddness). But when it tries to mount the nfs install

Have you checked whether the nfs-export works properly, e.g. by mounting it manually? I had a similar problem, where I tried to export a loop-mounted directory tree. Only, a userspace-nfsserver can do that.
I can mount it from other systems. Using
mount -t nfs source:/vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0/suse10.0 /tmp/vv
I can read files and go into directories.
It just got back to my mind that I had an additional problem. For any reason I still do not know, I had to add insmod=<my_NIC_kernelmodule> to the kernel parameters in order to get everything work. Of course, you need to replace <my_NIC_kernelmodule> with the one you need. May be it's worth to give it a try. Peter.
