I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and

I think you need to have the network settings defined - something
like:
network --bootproto static

If you don't give it an IP address (with the --ip option), then it
will prompt for it. This is what I do for NFS installs - as my
netmask, gateway and nameserver addresses are static, I also give
these on the network line.



Does not work, still defaults to DHCP with no prompt. Also if it makes
any difference im using v5.1.

I have tried with the 2 network lines shown below in the kickstart file,
with and without interactive variable. Still no network configuration
screen. :-(

Hmmm, works OK for me with CentOS 4.X - however, I used a hacked version of anaconda - one of my hacks is to set 'netDev.isDynamic' to 0 in loader2/loader.c i.e. make static IP the default ... however, I thought this was for non-kickstart installs only ... but may be it isn't.
