kickstart<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Greeting!<BR><BR>I try to use network Kickstart to re-install RHEL 4
update 3 on target machine HP DL 585 G1. I encounter a problem with my network.
I try with following parameters below on boot prompt to assign static IP. It
does not work so far. Cicso switch is our network equipment. Kickstart server
and client also reside the same subnet. I also configure Cisco switch to
auto/auto and STP port fast enabled. Many changes seems not help me to get IP
assigned. I also use PXE boot (F12) to boot from my DHCP server. It also fail. I
just suspect to broadcom NIC card. NIC might not initialize properly and fail to
reach the network. <BR><BR>If I use CD to install from local machine, it comes
up ok with IP and reachable to network.<BR><BR>Can anyone have a pointer to my
problem? <BR><BR>boot: linux ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
