I wonder whether I'm the only one having this problem (and thus probably doing something wrong) of if there really is a problem. We have a Satellite Server and we've been kickstarting servers from it for months. No problem. For various tests I probably kickstarted machines from within vmware well over a hundred times; boot off the RHEL-iso disk1, type 'linux ks=http://ourserver/path/to/label', wait for the box to appear to input IP, netmask, gateway and DNS (we have no DHCP in that network segment and there is no chance there ever will be one). The same procedure does not work any more for RHEL-4-WS; the IP settings entered in the box are not applied. After a timeout I can only continue with the CD installation. Switching to tty2, there is an eth0, but without IP. Assigning the IP and routes in that shell works and the interface is usable. But this is not a workaround, as switching to a shell can only be done after selecting to continue with the CD installation. - checksum of the ISO image used is fine - same problem with RHEL-4-WS and RHEL-4-DT (desktop) - same procedure on the same machine works file for RHEL-3-WS Unfortunately I don't have a physical machine to see whether the same thing happens there. What the heck am I doing wrong? Kurt
