RE: Fedora 7 Kickstart / Stage2 Issue

["Shabazian, Chip" <Chip Shabazian bankofamerica com>]

try using 

noipv6 nicdelay=50 linksleep=50 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=on speed=1000
duplex=full" 

Of course, adjust the ethtool line as appropriate for interface, speed,
etc.

Let us know if this works for you.

Subject: Fedora 7 Kickstart / Stage2 Issue


I have been using kickstart to setup our computer labs for the last
several releases of Fedora.  I thought while I had some time, that I
would implement a cobbler setup and roll out Fedora 7.

I am running into an issue with kickstarting Fedora 7.

I use the boot.iso to create a bootable CD which from the command line
type in my kickstart command:  ks=http://<pathtoks.cfg>

Anaconda starts up, grabs an IP address, grabs the kickstart file and at
this point attempts to re-initialize the interface using DHCP.  The
system queries via DHCP several times before it gives up and attempts to
retrieve
stage2 which fails ...

I am at a loss because I watch the DHCP server logs and it sees all the
queries and responds to each one.  It is like anaconda is ignoring the
responses.

I have looked at the mailing list for previous problems and solutions
and have even set portfast on the port in question, but it failed to
help me.

I have also set various other options such as noipv6 ksdevice=link
loglevel=debug without any success.

Anyone have any ideas on this?
