Problem with kickstart installation if no dhcp

[Shabazian, Chip]

What version are you installing?

Enter your IP info at the boot: prompt like this

Boot: ks=nfs:ip_of_server:/path/to/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0
ip=123.123.123.123 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=123.123.123.1

And make sure you also have the network information in the kickstart
file on the network line (the first is used to GET the ks.cfg, the
second is used to BUILD the server).

It would help if you could post at least your command section of your
kickstart file.

No, I'm entering in the static IP information via the installer.  The
static IP info doesn't come from the kickstart file.
