Jumpstart Issues

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with jumpstart that I haven't seen before. After booting the server and selecting F12 to boot it from the network it finds the jumpstart profile that has been set up for it and proceeds with the build until I get the following error:

It crashes out at this point. I've built other boxes using this method with no issues, any idea of what could be causing this?
