Hi Sylvia, I have seen such issues only with nodes which had multiple ethernet interfaces. The cable needed to be plugged into the other connector.
The e100 driver is usually included in the systemimager kernel, the dhcp request from the client node shows that you actually do have an eth0 interface.
