Tim,

Which NIC driver are you using?  I ask because most of them are not 
fully PXE-ified yet, and it might make a difference, although the 
PXE-read-file routine may not care about interrupts at all.

This does sound like it might have the potential to be a driver issue 
though, so trying another PCI NIC seems like a good filter test.
