Is there a way to make a NFS kickstart choose one ethernet device over
another? We are trying to do unattended installs using kickstart over
NFS but the systems we have have multiple ethernet devices. Because of
this, kickstart offers a list of devices to choose from.
Under 7.2 and earlier, kickstart defaulted to use the first device it
found. Under RedHat 9 it now offers the list if there are multiple
possible ethernet devices.
From the lilo boot prompt you can manually specify the boot device as
"ksdevice=XXX" with a "ks=" option. However, if you place this option
(ksdevice) in the "syslinux.cfg" it seems to be ignored for auto-installs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Incidentally, the format for RedHat's version of "syslinux.cfg" seems
to be wholy undocumented, at least that I can find.
Thanks!
