Peter, Thank you for your suggestions. I did try netwait=30, netdevice=eth0, and tried manually mount of installation source, none of them work. that's not the info file, the file is in pxelinux.cfg directory linked to the client IP for pxe install.

when I boot up the system, I see the the system request IP address from the dhcp server,and dhcp offer the IP address to that mac address, it then load the kernel, .....start hardware detect, usb device detect, then try to load info from eth0 eth1

Here is my info file
default linux serial 0,9600n8 label linux kernel 10.1kernel append console=tty0 initrd=10.1initrd.img insmod=mptsas autoyast=http://10.128.128.11/garibaldi_node.xml netmask=255.255.240.0 install=nfs://10.128.128.11/export/dist/SuSe10.1
^^^^ This is not your info file, is it?
For my Broadcom NIC, the netwait=5 was not enough. I'm actually using netwait=10.
Additionally, I had to add the kernel module for the NIC (in my case: "insmod=tg3") and also some SATA and SCSI modules to get the installation working. You may also try to set "netdevice=eth0".
BTW, when the red screen appears, you may press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-F9 and try to mount the NFS installation source manually, just to see whether this works.
Peter.
