Hi guys and gals, I'm trying to automate cluster installation using kickstart and 16 IBM x335 nodes that have dual 10/100/1000 Broadcom ethernet adapters (on board). The kickstart docs in anaconda-7.3 say that if I don't specify a "network" option in the config file that Kickstart/Anaconda will assume that the install is supposed to use eth0 and DHCP. However, once the nodes remote boot via PXE, the install process stops (argh!), tells me I have two interfaces, and then asks which one I'd like to install over. I want this fully automated for obvious reasons. Is there some hidden/secret combination of commands to get around this prompting? The non-package portions of the ks.cfg are shown below.
