here is the grub.conf I am using to kickstart:
title centos3 rescue console
root (hd0,0)
kernel /centos3.kernel devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 rescue ks=http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs/ks/centos3.x86_64-install.cfg console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
initrd /centos3.img

I don't think so.
I can "wget http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs/ks/centos3.x86_64-install.cfg"; but
the kickstarting machine does not :(
If I make http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/Binfs/ks/centos3.x86_64-install.cf file
available, it downloads it fine and install properly.
Don't try to get this file, the access is restricted to our internal network ;)
