Good luck with this one.. your best bet is to have different ks.cfg's for
each platform (or at least the networking section of it) to handle the
changes. If you are using pxe, you'll need custom pxelinux.cfg's as well
so you can have different "ksdevice=eth1" as well.

Subject: Ethernet Probe order?
We have a large problem determining which NICS in a multiple-NIC machine
will come up as eth0 for kickstart to proceed.
If I have a Compaq DL580 with 2 onboard NICs and a PCI Gigabit, the PCI
Gigabit will probe first. I need to figure out how to determine the
probe order and somehow tell anaconda to always choose the onboard
(across different servers - DL360, DL380, DL580, etc).
Can I mess with hwdata and somehow hard code the PCI table information
for specific platforms?
Even the Taroon installer does not seem configurable in an
Enterprise-aware fashion. I can pull the GigE NIC and it works, but
this is not Enterprise ready. When I'm managing 50 of these servers
remotely and I need to re-kickstart, I need to specify to use the
onboard. I cannot have someone go yank 50 GigE cards in the middle of
the night or whatever. I cannot kickstart over GigE because the GigE is
on a private VLAN.
Any ideas? Thanks.
