question about kickstart

[Boonchu Ngampairoijpibul]

Greeting!

I try to use network Kickstart to re-install RHEL 4 update 3 on target
machine HP DL 585 G1. I encounter a problem with my network. I try with
following parameters below on boot prompt to assign static IP. It does not
work so far. Cicso switch is our network equipment. Kickstart server and
client also reside the same subnet. I also configure Cisco switch to
auto/auto and STP port fast enabled. Many changes seems not help me to get
IP assigned. I also use PXE boot (F12) to boot from my DHCP server. It also
fail. I just suspect to broadcom NIC card. NIC might not initialize properly
and fail to reach the network.

If I use CD to install from local machine, it comes up ok with IP and
reachable to network.

Can anyone have a pointer to my problem?
