Are the machines exactly the same (hardware-wise - same parts, same slots, etc.)? If you're using a RAID Controller, did you configure the array and logical drive on the target system? What message do you get when trying to boot the ghosted image? Does the machine complete POST?

Did you know you can use IBM's Remote Deployment Manager to perform cloned or unattended installation of the other machines without having to be at the machine or use a diskette/CD and you can schedule it to run overnight?
