Your script works fine for me. When you say "after I enter an IP it just hangs
there" I assume that means you don't see "You entered: $CONSOLEIP" after you
press enter? I would think this means the "read CONSOLEIP" is not using tty3 for
STDIN. What's the name of the process you're killing? I'm guessing it's
something like "ks-script-KLscIP". What's the state of the process when you kill
it? S+? Get the process' PID and check what STDIN (fd 0) is pointed at:

sh-3.1# ps a | grep ks-script
  397 tty1     S+     0:00 /bin/sh /tmp/ks-script-KLscIP

sh-3.1# ls -l /proc/397/fd/0
lr-x------ 1 root 0 64 Nov 20 16:26 /proc/397/fd/0 -> /dev/tty3

Does it say /dev/tty3? What distro/ver/release/arch are you kickstarting? I
tested your script with a RHEL 5.1 x86_64 kickstart.
