doh! i figured it out. i added in two lines before my network lines: device ethernet 3c905 --opts "io=0xfcc0, irq=10" device ethernet 3c595 --opts "io=0xfc60, irq=5" i do that stuff (below) in a script that i load into rc.local during postinstall so that the script can execute all it's commands in the normal operating environment. got the idea from some posts on this list a few days ago. > I use my postinstall script to do this: > > cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 <<EOF > DEVICE=eth1 > BOOTPROTO=static > BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 > IPADDR=192.168.1.178 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > NETWORK=192.168.1.0 > ONBOOT=yes > EOF > > Comes up fine on the reboot. > > >>Problem: I can't get kickstart to recognize > >>and install two NICs at the same time.
