Hi Joseph

   After sending the last reply I fixed the kickstart config files and added --boot=yes to the network statement of eth0, but going through the consoles of each of the systems to see if the installation completed successfully I found a few that got stuck on the network interface configuration screen (where it asks for IPv4 and IPv6 static/dynamic configuration information: "Configure TCP/IP"). 

 I've only been half reading this thread, so feel free to ignore this "interruption" ...

Just plug one and only one NIC into the switch
Add "ksdevice=link" to your boot-up line (e.g. syslinux.cfg??).

Configure network (if you must) or just let DHCP take over.

Kickstart away ....
(works for me on boxes where during anaconda installation the NICs are labeled one way,
but CentOS running system does another).

Just a thought ...

  Hi Rak

  I don't ignore anyone :-) To be on topic: the kernel does receive the parameter ksdevice=bootif from the PXE bootloader. I tried to put eth0 instead of bootif, but it never worked (might be because of other configuration directives). I've pasted the configuration a couple of times in this thread so if you look back at one of the messages you will find the configurations I'm using ...
