disabling dhcp for eth1 in kernel

[Harry Mills]

I may well be totally wrong but if you specify the ksdevice then that is the device that will be used to fetch the ks.cfg and no user intervention is required. This is how it seems to work on my set up here.

The only time I am prompted for manual network information is when kickstart can't find the ks.cfg file using the location specification in the 'ks=blah' boot parameter. KS then falls back to manually asking for network details.

Is it possible that the machine cannot locate/mount the NFS server or resolve the hostname?
