OK, after reading the archives for 5 hours, I finally came across the answer to my first question, in one of Forrest's posts. I have to use bootnet.img instead of boot.img if I'm doing an nfs install. Thanks Forrest! I got past the kernel panic issue, my install starts from the nfs drive where I have the RPM's mounted, but it's asking me for all the params that should be in the ks.cfg file, so the install is not reading it. I saw the solution to that problem in another one of Forrest's posts, somewhere in the last 5 hours, now I have to go find it.... Drew Austin, TX
