I tried different kernels but it didn’t work. When booting from liveCD and pulling image from the server via NFS there is a spike of 1 Gbps transfer for like 10 seconds and then 0 after that. I found out that if on a managed switch i set the port through which it is deploying to 100 Mbps instead of AUTO then it goes through without getting stuck. Also, wiki claims that it can be done from a server by “ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off”
