Thanks Dan.  Still having issues.

This is an extract from my PXE config file.  When I put my params on the
append line kickstart spat out an error, however, they are ignored on
the kernel line.

label el3
        kernel el3u5_x86_64/vmlinux my_param1 my_param2=1
        append ksdevice=eth0
ks=nfs:10.240.34.254:/export/install/el3u5_x86_64/rhel_3x86_64_lws_testi
ng.cfg load_ramdisk=1 initrd=el3u5_x86_64/initrd.img
        ipappend 1

Ideas?

Thanks

CC

They end up in /proc/cmdline
