It's true.. well, I haven't checked 7.3 but kickstarting off of a 7.2 cdrom is a pain in the neck. Basically what you need to do is rip apart the boot.img file, and place your kickstart file inside of the initial ram disk file. In your syslinux.cfg file you will need to change ks=floppy to ks=file:/ks.cfg. I don't know if this problem directly affects RHAS 2.1 or not though, so YMMV. If you search back through the list archive, I posted some perl code which should let you write a quick script to automate this process (particularly handy if you're planning on changing ks.cfg a lot). Good luck, --Patrick.
