I'm assuming you are using CentOS 5 here. I'm not sure why upstream
disabled this feature -- it was very useful to be able to use kickstart
with a DHCP IP address initially, but still be prompted for network
information during the installer portion later (as it did in RHEL4).
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=401531
In addition, I have an RFE in with Upstream to re-add this feature and
I believe it's slated for inclusion in 5.2 with the --bootproto=query
option.
The attachment there however:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=291881
patches Anaconda to not skip the network step during installation.
I've been using this successfully here to "do what I need" while
waiting for the official fix.
You can include this in an updates.img file and have it loaded
automatically on installs.
