Perhaps anaconda isn't getting enough info from the command line's "ip=10.102.144.98", thus resorting to DHCP. I'd expect at least the netmask would be needed. From the docs (/usr/share/doc/anaconda-*): ip=<ip> IP to use for a network installation, use 'dhcp' for DHCP. netmask=<nm> Netmask to use for a network installation. gateway=<gw> Gateway to use for a network installation. dns=<dns> Comma separated list of nameservers to use for a network installation.
