How many NIC's do you have in the box? Are they all
embedded, or are there some on cards?
Kickstart is a very powerful and useful tool that we
use globally to build over 1000 distributed systems each year from a
centralized and managed location, and although it has bugs like any product,
most issues like you are having tend to be infrastructure or
manufacturer related.

Subject: Re: Kickstart via PXE/NFS
I made a change to pxe cfg file to have ks.cfg file read via http.
It fails too. However, if I look in the anaconda log I see the message getting ks.cfg
but then failed to transfer ks.cfg to fd. The snoop from the KS server side shows the HTTP
retrieval of the KS config file. Is it really trying to use an fd device, a floppy? These
Dell servers do not include floppys.
Redhat sure has taken something that should be relatively easy and made it a pain in the butt.
