NFS not mountable when kickstarting RHEL5x32 via Fedora 7

[Joe_Wulf]

Just to let everyone know, I've solved the problem.
 
In my ks.cfg file, it helps if you put the ip address of the system you are
building, vice
that of your NFS server.  Once I fixed that little detail, RHEL5 built nicely.
 
The next problem is that the virtual machine wouldn't fully boot.  It stays at
the grub
menu wanting booting instructions.  I've checked the kind of VM I built and its
hard
disk drive and did it with SCSI.  Does RHEL5 have any issues with SCSI?
 
The manually built system that worked for me and is fully functional was built
with
IDE drives.  I wonder what the difference is?

I have a weird problem.
I have Fedora 7 built up as my DNS, tftp, DHCP and kickstart server.
I can successfully build RHEL AS4u5.
I've now tried RHEL5.... it boots up initially, gets to the anaconda
screen and freezes, never to go any further.
When checking the box to be built (actually a VM), console 4 gives
continuous errors regarding unable to NFS mount the kickstart source.
 
HALP.
 
This is weird, as I have a manually built VM with RHEL 5, full system
install, and it can moments later successfully mount the same
location as the KS'd VM is attempting.
