Issue with installing RHEL from a Kickstart file/pxe from httpURL

[Scott.White at barclayscapital.com]

Do you have more than one Network interface?  It could be that RHEL believes. Eth0 is a different interface than you think.  This can happen when you have Broadcom on board and Intel add in Nics in the same machine.  The Intel ones get assigned eth0 

Try adding 

ksdevice=eth2

to your PXE boot line. (Or some other eth device depending on how many you have)

Yes , the DHCP IP address allocation is working fine.
Confirmed from the dhcp log messages.

It contacts tftp server to fecth the kernel and initrd.
After that, it fails to get the KS file from the mentioned location/URL :(
