Boot into rescue, and ensure that you can get an IP address, then run ethtool to see what the link is. We fix this problem (which occures globally for us) with the ethtool statement. I've never seen a situation where that HASN'T worked when it's due to the portfast issue.

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! _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
