problems kickstarting with gigabit nics

Putting a 10/100 switch in the middle solved it. Well, not solved it,
but worked around the problem I was having.

There is no other fix to this, other than putting a switch in the
middle, and taking it out once the install is complete?

To work around, or potentially rule out, the port timing issue, you 
can try putting a simple 100MB hub inline with your servers network 
connection, if you have one.  I've got one in a drawer here for just 
that purpose.
