                        Network autoconfiguration failed                    
      Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively,  
      the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working   
      properly.

     From here you can choose to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration        
     (which may succeed if your DHCP server takes a long time to respond)    
     or to configure the network manually. Some DHCP servers require a       
     DHCP hostname to be sent by the client, so you can also choose to       
     retry DHCP network autoconfiguration with a hostname that you           
     provide.

       The netmask is used to determine which machines are local to your    
       network.  Consult your network administrator if you do not know the  
       value.  The netmask should be entered as four numbers separated by   
       periods.

      The gateway is an IP address (four numbers separated by periods) that 
      indicates the gateway router, also known as the default router.  All  
      traffic that goes outside your LAN (for instance, to the Internet) is 
      sent through this router.  In rare circumstances, you may have no     
      router; in that case, you can leave this blank.  If you don't know    
      the proper answer to this question, consult your network              
      administrator.

      The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the

      The domain name is the part of your Internet address to the right of  
      your host name.  It is often something that ends in .com, .net, .edu, 
      or .org.  If you are setting up a home network, you can make          
      something up, but make sure you use the same domain name on all your  
      computers.

  Looks like the bnx2x fail is causing the installation failure.
