It would be extremely helpful if when it prompts you for installation
method that you do a ALT+F2 and/or ALT+F3 and see what the error was. That
should give you some pointers. After you've done that, tell us what
you've found.

Subject: RH9 pxeboot doesn't read ks= boot parameter
Hi all.
I'm trying to install RH9 with PXE using kickstart. After reading through
the list, I haven't found any post that describes my particular problem.
My problem is that pxeboot kicks off starts up and hits
/sbin/loader...initializes the eth0 and then prompts for Installation
Method. My pxe.cfg is below so it should be just starting right up in
kickstart, but it doesn't. I've tried the ks=http: option but that
doesn't work.
Some background
I have PXE working boot off off pxeboot/vmlinuz kernel and loading the
pxeboot/initrd.img
my pxeclient.cfg/default file contains only one label... (rh9* files are
the pxeboot files)
label linux
kernel rh9vmlinuz
append ks=nfs:10.10.10.10:/vol/exports/static/ks/ks-default.cfg
ksdevice=eth0 initrd=rh9initrd.img lang=en_US console=ttyS0,115200
My nfs server contains the following exports file ( running on a sun box.
it has to be there sorry :( )
#vol perm anan user
...
/vol/exports/static rw 1000
...
I'll provide my DHCP conf later because I figure that's related to getting
pxeboot to work (which it is) so if you want to see it ask.
After that I'm at a loss. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Noah
