What version are you installing? Enter your IP info at the boot: prompt like this Boot: ks=nfs:ip_of_server:/path/to/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=123.123.123.123 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=123.123.123.1 And make sure you also have the network information in the kickstart file on the network line (the first is used to GET the ks.cfg, the second is used to BUILD the server). It would help if you could post at least your command section of your kickstart file. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Van Dyk Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 12:15 PM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: Problem with kickstart installation if no dhcp No, I'm entering in the static IP information via the installer.
