If you think that it's trying to use the Intel 82541PL, blacklisting the
module will keep it from trying to use the NIC:
Add this to your kernel boot options:
blacklist=e1000
kernel /vmlinuz ramdisk_size=64063 blacklist=e1000 ks=nfs:<IP
ADDR>:/export/install/kickstart/hostname.ks lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us
biosdevname=0 ksdevice=link rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset vnc
vncpassword=<password> sshd sshpw --username=<loginid>
--W

Can you post your grub.conf lines? And maybe what kind of NICs you're

One nic is a broadcom BCM5703X embedded on the motherboard, that's the
active NIC. There's an add-on card Intel 82541PI, that is not hooked
up to anything at this time.

After talking with a co-worker we had the thought that some of these
parameters might need to be on a separate append line in grub.conf
which would make it look like a pxeboot file. Gonna try that next.
