problem jumpstarting v240s connected via fiber to Catalyst 4003

Everytime I try to jumpstart a box connected via fiber to my catalyst 4003
it will start to go through the boot process and then the catalyst will
disconnect the port. It does not disable on errors or anything like that, it
just becomes disconnected. I have tried turning off udld and it still
doesn't work. The ports on the catalyst are in 1000fx. I am wondering if
anyone has come across this problem before. My CatOS ver is:

WS-C4003 Software, Version NmpSW: 8.1(1)
Copyright (c) 1995-2003 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
NMP S/W compiled on Jul 10 2003, 16:03:12
GSP S/W compiled on Jul 10 2003, 13:59:37

System Bootstrap Version: 5.4(1)

Hardware Version: 2.0 Model: WS-C4003 Serial #:

The sun boxes are brand new Sunfire v240s

The only way I can get around the problem is to physically disconnect the
fiber and reconnect it, and then try to jumpstart it again and then it just
fails right away again.
