I have found that the scsihosts= boot line command is only for kernels
that have the modules built into the kernel, but no other resolution has
been found.

I have tried the device parameter in the kickstart file, but anaconda
seems to ignore them. Anyone have any other ideals? Here is a portion of
my kickstart file:

#kickstart file (partial)
install
cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
device scsi aacraid
device scsi megaraid
device scsi aic7xxx
device eth eepro100
device eth bcm5700
keyboard us
mouse genericwheelps/2 --device psaux
skipx
network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname nfs-basic
