I had the same issue from the original posting. It turned out that I had to turn spanning-tree on on the switch due to the delay in the initialization of the port on the switch. On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 13:04:31 -0700, Schumacher, Gordon wrote:

I have not had to do this (and I'm using HTTP, as I need to be able to traverse filesystems.)

The problem starts during the 'initializing hardware' section. It stops at this point complaining that it can't find the SUSE Linux installation source. Now some might think that I'd made a mistake - but this is certainly not the case.

I was getting the same thing until I put 'instmode=nfs' in the kernel boot line (I am installing over nfs).

You might try appending 'instmode=http' to your append line...
