Thanks for the response.

I don't think it's the NIC - I don't specify anything; there's only one
Ethernet port connected, and with CentOS 5.7 it works fine, I think
kickstart defaults to whatever link it is using to PXE boot, which is what
is needed; I don't know why this aspect would be any different between the
distros.  At one point I did try the second of the two Ethernet ports on
the unit being loaded, and it did not get any further.
