I have a kickstart procedure using http.

But the sending request for IP information is taking forever. I them timesout, asks to select ipv4/ipv6 options. And back to "sending request for ip info...." I am also using a cisco switch on the other end and changes in the switch config is not an option.This issue defeats auto install of Redhat. IF i connect the server into a normal switch (not Cisco), kickstart works fine.,<br><br>How to set
