With a huge help from developers we determined that it's a command that 
hangs during the boot.
After the client connects the nbd image from the server, it run a "blkid 
-s TYPR -o value /dev/nbd0" and this command simply hangs. No timeout, 
no failure.
I'll try with a different network card (this is a SiS190) because all 
other clients models boot perfectly.
I'll tell if it works.
Thanks!
