I am attempting to install on PE1955 and had a slightly different problem. I got much further when I tried using the "Use Your Own Kernel" functionality.
Go back to the "Setup Networking" step and click on the checkbox that says "UYOK" and then click on "Setup Network Boot" again. That should restart things such that you use the kernel from the headnode. I haven't gotten much further, but I did get the nodes to "image" by doing this. They had a kernel panic when they rebooted, but they did successfully image... I am trying to use the latest systemimager from trunk but trunk as a whole seems to be unstable at the moment, so I will have to do something more invasive than I wanted to and just pull out the SIS rpm and drop that back in the 5.0 code or something.
