Is there not even the chance of a serial console? cause you can kick-start happily over that! I'm not sure if I'd want to do a kickstart upgrade without access to at least one terminal!
Call me adventurous - but the fact is that the ILO port of the server was left unpatched :) Well, I have *installed* over the network several times, the console is not usually necessary. It is just that I have never tried an *upgrade* and am not too sure of the required ks file elements. The documentation is pretty detailed for installs, but not for upgrades. Anyway, I did try doing this (in a lab) and figured that in rhel4, the release notes file is mandatory inside the webroot. Quite a big difference from rhel3 (where only the RedHat subdirectory was needed inside the webroot).
