Xavier, Your original post said you were using the IBM Bladecenter. Which slot do you have your network module plugged into? If you have only one network module, it has to be plugged into slot 1, not slot 0 on the back of the chassis. When we got our first BladeCenter months ago, we had a similar issue with kickstart on standard eth0. IBM finally told us the probe order of the interfaces in Linux requires a single network module to be in slot 1. Hope this helps. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | Americas IT Hosting Sys Admin | .|||. .|||. Cisco Linux Developer | ..:|||||||:...:|||||||:.. Phone: (919) 392-7363 | C i s c o S y s t e m s
