I double-checked the kernel version used and the kernel version of the 
modules provided by initrd (using lsinitrd, I should have done it 
before) with SL 7.1: in fact, they are both the same, 3.10.0.229. But 
when PXE booting vmlinuz+initrd, I end up with kernel modules for 
3.10.0.123 (version from 7.0) in /lib/modules... How this is possible? I 
removed the initrd file checked with lsinitrd to ensure that I was 
getting an error when booting about the missing file so I am really 
using this initrd file...

I am lost... Any idea is welcome!
