and everything stops there.

What additional debugging options should I enable to determine what I'm missing when trying to enable the network?

It'd help if we saw the kickstart file itself, ...
The link to the kickstart file is:

  http://intranet.farm.hsv.redhat.com/es/tftpboot/f17-mvebu/mvebu.ks

but I can attach it to an email if you have trouble accessing that file.

... but mostly you'd want to
examine the various logs in /tmp. Probably you could boot with 'sshd'
and just scp them off the system.
Please see attached.

Note: Before looking too far into the logs, we have been having trouble starting the network using NetworkManager on this system even when booting normally. We have been working around the issue by starting the network using 'dhclient'. Since it appears that the installer is also using NetworkManager, perhaps we are encountering the same problem and it is simply being reported as a kickstart issue:

   Can't have a question in command line mode!

So while we find a solution to the underlying issue, is it possible to force the installer to use dhclient, or some other non-NetworkManager method to start networking? Since I was able to ssh in to the system, I have to assume 'something' other than NetworkManager is starting networking.


Thank you,
