I have successfully set up a very nice kickstart install with the i386 version of CentOS 4.3 and it works great. I am using a custom kickstart

But then it never tries to get the ks.cfg. I am booting it with:

label centos
  kernel CentOS4.3/x86_64/vmlinuz
append initrd=CentOS4.3/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=7000 ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://192.168.0.7/network-install/ks.cfg.x86_64

(that last line should be all one line)

Are you sure your ksdevice is eth0? could it be i386->eth0 and x86_64->eth1

/usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.1.1.37
...
ksdevice        Takes one of 4 types of argument which tells install
                what network device to use for kickstart from network:
...
                - An argument like 00:12:34:56:78:9a indicating the
                  MAC address of a specific interface
                - The keyword `link' indicating that the first
                  interface with link up
...

ksdevice=00:0c:29:14:3a:c5 or ksdevice=link ?
Cheers,

Tru

I have made a boot cdrom and in that one I use these switches for append (and it is working for both i386 and x86_64) : append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=http://192.168.10.241/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 nofirewire nopcmcia skipddc noparport

I tried the ksdevice=link but that didn't work.

What is the output from the Alt+F3(or was it F4) when you boot your kickstart install ?
