Fedora Core has done this for awhile.  The RHEL3 to RHEL4 sounds like
the right time for RHEL.  This is a known problem as far as it has been
discussed on the mailing list before.   One possible answer is located
here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2005-May/msg00092.html .
 However, I don't have Cisco network equipment.  The other more likely
reason is located here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2005-September/msg00038.html
.  The good news is that it is not the kickstart file.  Where I see the
problem is when you use a NFS server to install from ISO images an no
kickstart file is in use.  The second link has a proposed patch too.
