Hi,
I am trying to do a non interactive install of a set of HP BL25p blades
using kickstart, pxelinux and NFS. The blades have 4 network interfaces
and every time I boot and run the installer I get a message telling me
that I have multiple network devices and asking which network interface I
wish to do the install through. Is there anyway to get kickstart to stop
asking? I just want it to access the nfs share through eth0 using DHCP.
When I press OK everything works fine.
I have the following kickstart file
