Re: Kickstart problems in RedHat Linux 7.3

While were on issues with kickstart. I'm running into the same sort of
problem with a twist. In 7.2, all monitor types are recognized, with the
probe of the system completing without issue, but in 7.3, either the
ks.cfg file is ignored, or the kickstart bails and reboots the system.
