Make sure the network settings are correct in the kickstart file. You could create a %pre section in your installer, and attempt to pull the file using something like wget. Write a small script to do it, and on failure, tell it to just sit there. Then you can use CTRL-F1 thru CTRL-F4 to see what the errors were. Botched kickstarts can get tricky, especially when it seems like a network issue.

It does have. It's a Dell PE2950. I have already tried that option as well. I tried both ksdevice=eth0 and ksdevice=eth1 and they don't work. -Mukarram. ________________________________ From: kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com [<A HREF="mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com">mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com</A>] On Behalf Of Coe, Colin C.

If so, what you may find is adding 'ksdevice=link' will assist.

I configured my kickstart server using http. I am able to pxeboot the client, but my client is not able to get the netstg2.img file from the server. I am able to http into my netstg2.img directory from a web browser from another server in the same subnet successfully. Also I tried to put in a boot cdrom and run the following: Linux ks=<A HREF="http://">http://</A><ServerIP>/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg ip=<ClientIP> netmask=255.255.255.224 gateway=<GatewayIP> Still no luck. It goes straight to the cd installer. I tried to tcpdump the traffic on the MAC address of the client, it outputs the tftp information and after that it stops. I don't see any http traffic coming from the client. I'd appreciate some help in this regard. I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot this but no luck.
