Issue with installing RHEL from a Kickstart file/pxe fromhttpURL

[vivek.dosi]

yup, machine boots -> Gets IP from DHCP -> Next server configured to tftp server -> From tftp it gets the pxe file.
-> which loads kernel and initrd.img .....And then timeout for ks file(which points to a http URL)

Multiple interfaces on the box? You might need ksdevice=ethN.
Especially if the interface used by the BIOS for PXE is not the same
one Anaconda uses for fetching the kickstart file.

Further, a silly question - is the pxe config file served fine from
the TFTP server?
