I seem to recall from my redhat5/6/7 days that certain installation methods used for kickstarting only invoked text mode install. Now I read that graphical install is default in kickstart on el5/6. However, in my test environment (with older HP DL140G3) I only get text mode install up, even if I specify graphical in kickstart file, with both nfs and http install methods. There's no clues on third console, only an info message about display mode being set to 't'.
Any clues what am I missing?

This is usually caused by not having enough RAM. I think for el5 you need either 512 or 768MB and for el6 it is more like 1GB (IIRC).
When this happens Anaconda will spit out a message to the effect that it is falling back to text right before starting text mode. Not sure if it gets logged anywhere other than stdout.
