This box has two network cards. Maybe the kernel swaps eth0 and eth1,
so you do a PXE boot from the first network card, which is then detected
as eth1 by the kernel.

There maybe also problems when you are using 2.6.24 and unionfs/aufs
with ubuntu. I think there were some problems with older ubuntu kernel
versions in the past.
