Hmmm. I would specify
	network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp
if I was you. Solved the problem for me (when installing from ks floppy)

Emne: Redhat 7.3 Kickstart and Dual ethernet adapters


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. 

Thanks!
-Tim
