Will this server get a dhcp address if you boot from the
boot.iso (or disk 1 with askmethod) and select http, ftp or nfs as your install
path?
If so, you are probably running into a switch timing issue
that I have to deal with every day. Try adding an ethtool option to the
end of your command line:
if 100MB Full Duplex:
ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=off speed=100
duplex=full"
If 1000MB Full:
ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=on speed=1000
duplex=full"

working but have had no success. Here are the last few lines of the
kickstart process before it dies: *getting kickstart
file *sending dhcp request through device
eth0 *waiting for

seconds * running dhcp for
eth0 * pump told us: No DHCP reply
received * eth0 isn’t a wireless
adaptor I have checked every possible
configuration with regards to dhcp, pxe, tftp, but cannot find anything
wrong. Has anyone else seen this type of
behavior? Thanks in
