I got a similar situation to Philippe DUBRULLE above net-booting an arch= 386 old laptop diskless, from an AMD64 server, all Lucid.
The client freezes just after it is done with initrd. A friend suggested pinging the machine continuously, and lo and behold I got 7 responses, before the whole thing froze. Same friend suggested "mv /etc/init/network/* /tmp/TRASH", this means no-one will try to re-init my NICS while I am on an NFS root. It worked, I can login. What would be a more correct solution, I know not.
