I had a similar issue; the solution which worked for me was to specify the ip address, gateway, and netmask: append initrd=/images/centos-5.2-i386/initrd.img ksdevice=eth0 lang=en_US netmask=255.255.254.0 ip=192.168.62.55 text kssendmac gateway=192.168.62.40 ks=http://<whatever> The key bits are "ksdevice=eth0 netmask=255.255.254.0 ip=192.168.62.55 gateway=192.168.62.40 " This will probably be needed if your environment uses something other than 255.255.255.0 for a netmask. -- Terry McIntyre UNIX for hire Software Development, Systems Administration, Security terry.mcintyre@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
