Do you use iptables on the system? On my systems I don't install the
ip6tables package, and disable iptables in my %post in kickstart, and
disable IPv6 during %post as well -
sed -i s'/^NETWORKING_IPV6=yes/NETWORKING_IPV6=no/'g /etc/sysconfig/network
If you don't need IPv6 iptables I'd suggest disabling it, perhaps
something like
chkconfig --level 2345 ip6tables off
(since I don't have the package installed I'm not certain what the
init script name is)
