  Hello,

  If you have multiple network adapters you have to say which one you want to use in the "bootp/pxe" command line or just comment entries for those you don't need in your "kickstart" file :

	bootp> rhes3 ks=nfs:xx.xx.xx.xx:/where/you/store/it ksdevice=eth0
	
I hope this help.

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
