When I prepared the kickstart for the new fedora 8, I noticed that anaconda (<a href="http://11.3.0.50" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> 11.3.0.50</a>) does not use the static ip information provided by the kickstart and chooses a dhcp configuration. To verify that it is not an error of our kickstart creator, I prepared a kickstart file on a fedora 8 machine with the system-config-kickstart script. But I found the same problem. I also switched the network and nfs lines but i found no difference. At first I thought about a new anaconda behaviour (nfs install uses only dynamic configuration) but having a look at the source code of the anaconda loader I have the impression that the network bootstrap follows the same principles. I searched through the mailing list for keywords bootproto and <a href="http://11.3.0.50" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> 11.3.0.50</a> with no success. I also googled about but i did not find any hint. I don't know if it's a known anaconda issue or a syntax error of my kickstart.
