[sf-lug] Redhat Kickstart

[nathank]

Hi all,

If your on the svlug list, sorry for the dual posting.

Having a odd problem with a network kickstart setup. The client will
load fine though PXE, get a IP and all. Before the installer looks for
the stage2.img file it will try to make another request for an IP, this
part always fails. If I manually enter the IP the rest of the install
will work fine, its just that second DHCP request that never seems to
work. Pretty sure its not the network, since I've setup a test client
and server  on a couple of VMs on their own private network but the same
problem shows up. So at this point not sure if its my configs or
something else I'm missing. Anyone have any clues?

default file for pxe:
label linux
kernel /pxeboot/vmlinuz
append initrd=/pxeboot/initrd.img
ks=http://10.10.13.80/network-install/KS/3.cfg ip=dhcp


kickstart file:
