There are 2 places to you need to specify eth0/1: In the kernel line: linux initrd=initrd.img ks=http://some.server/ks.cfg ip=1.2.3.4 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=1.2.3.4 dns=1.2.3.4 ksdevice=eth0 AND in the ks.cfg file: network --bootproto=static --ip=1.2.3.4 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=1.2.3.4 --nameserver=1.2.3.4 --device=eth0 If you're booting from CDROM or Floppy, edit isolinux.cfg or syslinux.cfg. If you're booting from network, you'll need to edit pxelinix.cfg I believe your confusion is because you're editing the ks.cfg file only. But without using the proper interface, your computer cannot even reach the ks.cfg file in the first place. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Schoolcraft [mailto:bill@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 12:01 PM > To: Discussion list about Kickstart > Subject: RE: Kickstart from eth1 (eth0 socket bad) > > > At Tue, 27 Dec 2005 it looks like > Elizabeth.Brosch@xxxxxxxxxxx composed: > > > I was having a problem initially with Kickstart.
