OK, mea culpa, I have not described my problem or my t-shooting steps very well. I am accessing the box I am trying to kickstart via the Java web interface to the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) board. Through this interface, I can see the server POST and I can do things like hit F8 to go into the RAID config utility (firmware level) and stuff like that. It's just like sitting at the console with a keyboard and mouse. I am mounting a floppy image that I got from HP as the virtual floppy. This image is specific to the Proliant I am trying to kickstart - it has the correct RAID and network card drivers. I verified that it works by watching alt-F4 and I see the RAID controller and the NICs start up. The Proliant has two Broadcom 5700 series gigabit NICs. I have tried the following (ip addresses obfuscated) command lines. The first tries to boot off of eth0, the second off of eth1. linux text ks=nfs:345.678.237.39:/usr/local/export/rhel21asu2/ks/ks-tx2pmms01.cfg ip=345.678.195.89 dns=345.678.3.251 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=345.678.195.1 ksdevice=eth0 and linux text ks=nfs:345.678.237.39:/usr/local/export/rhel21asu2/ks/ks-tx2pmms01.cfg ip=345.678.195.89 dns=345.678.3.251 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=345.678.195.1 ksdevice=eth1 Under alt-F4 I see both NICs initiated, so I know the driver is loading. But I see pump (the dhcp client) initiate at the same time. It's like it never reads the ipaddress stuff from the syslinux command line. Is there another argument I need to pass from the command line like "boot=static?" Thanks!
