Re: RHEL 3 kickstart network retrieval issue

I had a similar issue; the solution which worked for me was to specify
the ip address, gateway, and netmask:

append initrd=/images/centos-5.2-i386/initrd.img ksdevice=eth0
lang=en_US netmask=255.255.254.0 ip=192.168.62.55  text kssendmac
gateway=192.168.62.40  ks=http://<whatever>

The key bits are "ksdevice=eth0 netmask=255.255.254.0 ip=192.168.62.55
gateway=192.168.62.40 "

This will probably be needed if your environment uses something other
than 255.255.255.0 for a netmask.
