Hi, RHEL5 and RHEL6 recognizes nic in different order, I think using MAC address may avoid potential trouble. I tried 'network --device=MAC address' in kickstart file but anaconda complains that device '00:21:28:A5:69:62' cannot be found on the system, I also tried lower case, no luck. If I change all MAC address to eth0, eth1 and eth2, the installation goes fine. Anaconda is 11.1.2 in RHEL5, Kickstart version is 'RHEL5', generated by pykickstart: #version=RHEL5 # Use text mode install text # Firewall configuration firewall --disabled # System keyboard keyboard us # System language lang en_US.UTF-8 # Root password rootpw password # SELinux configuration selinux --disabled # Installation logging level logging --level=info # Use network installation url --url="http://abc.com/pub/5-x86_64-dvd.iso/" # Reboot after installation reboot # System timezone timezone America/Los_Angeles # Network information network --bootproto=static --device=00:21:28:A5:69:62 --gateway=10.234.0.1 --hostname=test1.abc.com --ip=10.241.1.43 --nameserver=172.165.51.1,172.165.51.2 --netmask=255.255.252.0 network --bootproto=static --device=00:21:28:A5:69:63 --gateway=10.176.88.1 --hostname=private1.abc.com --ip=10.176.86.133 --nameserver=10.176.84.5 --netmask=255.255.252.0 network --bootproto=static --device=00:21:28:A5:69:64 --ip=10.176.150.43 --netmask=255.255.252.0 # System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder="sda" autopart # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --drives=sda %packages Any idea?
