Add autoneg off to ethtool, and make sure you are using the right quotes (if you copy/pasted, you are using ' not ")eth0_ethtool="autoneg off speed 100 duplex full"Also, the version of kickstart you are using simply may not support the ethtool statement. I believe ESX is based on an older version of RHEL.

Subject: Boot parameters not working
HiFor auto-install of ESX hosts, I use kickstart (through the Ultimate Deployment Appliance UDA). This UDA generates my kickstart file and boot parameters.I've noticed that when using the nic at 1000Mb - Full Duplex, the kickstart scripts stops after "doing kickstart... setting it up". When at cisco switch level I change the port speed to 100Mb - Full Duplex, the script runs fine. Unfortunately, after the install is finished, I realy need that 1000Mb, so I would be nice if I could configure the nic at 100 during install.I tried adding " eth0_ethtool='speed 100 duplex full' " to the boot parameters line, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.My bootline looks like:append ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool='speed 100 duplex full' load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.esx301 network ks= http://172.29.26.249/kickstart/es020.cfg ESXIP=20Any tips?Gabrie
