I have not idea where my vmlinuz/initrd.img came from.
I'm not sure where my network driver came from,
where it is, or exactly how it got there. It's probably
a VMware proprietary driver, VMware says you have to
get it from a "VMware Tools" package, but I thing it was
just there when I installed to OS, but I might have done
a VMware Tools install that I've forgotten about. Anyway
it's probably not in the default vmlinuz/initrd.img.
Gotta go figure out what I need to read to learn how
to build and install a vmlinuz/initrd.img with the necessary
driver.

the driver error sounds like an issue with the vmlinuz/initrd.img you
are using. do these kernels find the divers for your NIC's when booting
w/o cobbler (like booting from CD and loading your kickstart from a USB
keychain for example)? if your kickstart is setup to do a network
install (NFS for example) you'll know very quickly if your kernel +
initrd has the correct drivers ;)
