Hi, Our Kickstart has been working fine with RHEL4 and EL4…no
problems. But today I added a RHEL3 menu and it’s corresponding
ks.cfg file. This is to test our legacy RHEL3 servers which are difficult
to get rid of at this time. I could pxe boot and I get the menu. I
choose the correct option (17) and it loads up the appropriate vmlinuz and
initrd images, then loads up anaconda and instead of getting the network it
shows me the Language menu. I have about 16 other options for RHEL4 and
EL4 and they all work fine. I have been troubleshooting this for almost 3
hours now and no luck. Suggestions would be appreciated. My take on this is that with RHEL4 it takes all the drivers
for the PE1950, for RHEL3 I don’t think it contains all the drivers so it
just does not load them with anaconda. Can anyone clarify this? Here is my setup: My /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/default file:
