This happens when the PXE UDP stack is "deaf"; it can send packets but 
not receive them.

Check to see if there is a firmware upgrade available first, otherwise 
you might have to bootstrap Etherboot/gPXE as an intermediate step. 
This error is common with SiS900 controllers; this is the first time 
I've heard of problems with HP hardware.
