Thanks for reply. I confirmed with network team and they said that portfast was enabled. I think I'm down to two options: Anaconda isn't using my eth0 nic (at present the only one connected) or rebuilding Anaconda to hard code a 30 second sleep. I see some information about that at http://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2005-March/msg00087.html. Kickstart is becoming very difficult!
