Kickstarting IBM servers

[Vimal Kumar <vikumar redhat com>]

Hello,

I have a scenario in which its not able to do a kickstart on IBM 
servers, the process halts at the keymap. Tried various alternatives in 
the kickstart config; gb, uk, us; and also changed the keyboard and 
language settings. The problem occurs on both x86 or x86_64 bit RHEL5. 
The IBM Servers are mainly x345s and x346s. Tried Compaq KVMs, HP KVMs, 
standard Dell PS2 keyboards and other non-brand keyboards... with a 
mixture of US and UK keymaps. It's not possible to use the keyboard at 
all during the kickstart process... it's just garbled characters and 
renders it useless.

The ks.cfg is as follows :

-----------------------
install
nfs --server=X.X.X.X --dir=/kickstart/install-tree/rhel-5
text
lang en_US
#langsupport --default=en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8
keyboard us
keymap us
graphical
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip X.X.X.X --netmask 
255.255.254.0 --nameserver X.X.X.X --hostname XY.com
firewall --disabled
selinux --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
firstboot --disabled
timezone Europe/London
bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet"
clearpart --all
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100  --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part /     --fstype "ext3" --size=6144 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part swap                  --size=2048 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part /var  --fstype "ext3" --size=8192 --grow --ondisk=sda
part /var/spool/exim/input --fstype "ext3" --size=65536 --grow --ondisk=sdb
------------------------

Any ideas why this is happening.
