RE: FC2 network kickstart not working

Paul,

ummm...  I'll have to investigate this more.  I've been using 
IP addresses all along with kickstart and the only time I've
had any problem is when I have ti use the e1000.ko driver.
In this case, I get exactly the same symptoms you describe
in your case.  I wonder if it is inconsistent as to when
this is called.  I'll be investigating this over the weekend.

Thanks,
Joe
