Thought so. This is a bug in anaconda (in my mind anyhow, Red Hat won't
acknowledge this). Basically during a CD kickstart, anaconda will never
prompt you for network information, no matter what combination of
networking information you leave in or out in the ks file. There is a
fix, however, which I figured out while stumbling through the anaconda
code. Here it is (I'm doing this from memory but I think that it's
right):
take the stage2.img from the CD, copy it /tmp or whatever.
mkdir /mnt/img
mkdir /tmp/new_img
mount -o loop /tmp/stag2.img /mnt/img
rsync -avv /mnt/img/* /tmp/img/
now you want to look at the /tmp/img/usr/lib/kistart.py
and comment out the below line:
dispatch.skipStep("network")
This will force kickstart to prompt for networking.
then create your new stage2.img :
mkcramfs /tmp/new_img
and copy it back to your temporary CD making directory, re-create your
ISO, burn it and you're good to go.
