We have gigE and I had to modify the installer disk It may have been a quirk with our nic cards but, this is what needed to be done. I modified the installer disk so that busybox executed some scripts prior to running the anaconda init. What needed to be done was to give the nic cards a 0.0.0.0 address before they could successfully make a dhcp request. Also had to modify the loader so that it did not test to see if it was process zero. after running the scripts that brought up the nic cards with a 0.0.0.0 address and then running the anaconda init everything worked fine.
