Kickstart fails

Boot into rescue, and ensure that you can get an IP address, then run
ethtool to see what the link is.

We fix this problem (which occures globally for us) with the ethtool
statement.  I've never seen a situation where that HASN'T worked when
it's due to the portfast issue.

Thanks for reply.  I confirmed with network team and they said that
portfast was enabled.  I think I'm down to two options:
Anaconda isn't using my eth0 nic (at present the only one connected) or
rebuilding Anaconda to hard code a 30 second sleep.  I see some
information about that at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2005-March/msg00087.html.


Kickstart is becoming very difficult!
