Sorry Duncan,

I missed your mail. It got discarded into the spam bucket (I tend to
ignore unsolicited e-mails...).

Thinstation has a general mailing list
thinstation-general@...
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/thinstation-general

The nvidia drivers
(http://batley.com.au/thinstation/nvidia-185.18.14_TS-2.2x.tar.gz)
support the ION video chipset snd I'm pretty sure that the ION needs the
latest forcedeth nic driver
http://batley.com.au/thinstation/forcedeth_TS-2.2.2.tar.gz

The DK TSoM has the nvidia driver at least.

Good Luck
Trevor B

Corrupted vmlinuz?
How did you copy the vmlinuz & initrd into your tftp root directory?  
It needs to be a binary transfer & not ascii.

I used a USB stick. The same image runs on an ACER laptop.  Is it possible the REVO is corrupting as it receives it from the tftp server?  I did notice that is pause twice during the PXE download.
