We actually have the same type of issue, but it may not be related to kickstart. The problem we are having is that when the machine is forced to 100mb full duplex and the switch (especially Cisco, and Foundry) are set to autonegotiate, they never seem to negotiate properly. The fix that we did was to force the swtich the 100fdx and force it on the card as well. /lance > Hi, > > We have an issue with a network kickstart RH 9.0 install.
