No network drivers for doing kickstart

[Shabazian, Chip]

Are you trying to pxeboot?

Are both interfaces connected?  

Can you build manually? (if so, this may be a link delay issue).

When you boot into rescue, take a look at the MAC addresses so you know
which is eth0 and which is eth1, and ensure that they ARE in fact eth0
and 1.

Do you have access to the dhcp server?  If so, what are you seeing
there?

I am able to use RHEL v4 Update 1 with no problems now.  It has the
appropriate network drivers. But I am now having an issue where
kickstart fails finding the network interface.  I have had this problem
in the past where I was assuming that it was eth0 interface when
Anaconda seen the interface as eth3.  But I am unable to get around it
this time on my DL585 servers.  These servers have two NICS, eth0 and
eth1.  I have tried both with no success.  I have booted from CD #1 and
went into linux rescue.  DHCP will assign IP addresses to eth0 and eth1
but kickstart will still fail. Any suggestions?

I have had issues in the past where a newer initrd worked, but for many
reasons, we had to stay with the build based off an older version.  In
these cases, I found that you could replace the loader in the older
initrd with the loader from the newer one, and all was fine.

If you still want to build with the latest to minimize packages that
need to be upgraded, you could give this a shot.
