The server(s) in question have 4G of ram - plenty.
I agree completely that rsync pushes things hard-- but, the one key you
didn't take into account is that when the server and golden client are
running fully, rsynincg the entire image works flawlessly, every time.
Back and forth. No problems. It's ONLY when I have finished
net-booting and doing the rsync it fails. To me, that eliminates
the network and switch as a cause........
The image is 5.8G total.

rsync dies part way through client rsync operation
Kent,
I'm not going to say this with any kind of authority, but
there are two things I'd really look at first - memory issues on the new
boxes. Is there enough RAM? Yes - I know - sort of a dumb question.
But then I'd also take a look at the network. Although PXE booting
copies over SOME files, it's not actually that much data over the
network. On the other hand, the rsync will (if your cpu's are good
enough) push your network gear pretty hard - and you might be suffering
from network issues (packet loss, corruption, bad nic, switch port
failures, etc, etc) during the rsync.
