To date, I have performed no fewer than 25 kickstart installs (using
FC6). Due to serious application compatibility issues, I am forced to
take these machines back to an earlier version of Fedora ( version 5).
Currently, the client systems successfully boot (using PXEboot). Some
point after copying down the kickstart file, at the point where it
attempts to mount the stage2.img file, it fails. I have tried using ISOs
in addition to the contents of the ISOs within the installation tree,
but neither work. Just to be sure that there is nothing wrong with my
setup, I tried to install using the older FC6 ISOs and with those the
client installs succeed. I have verified that the installation tree is
available over NFS, so I am sure the problem is not with NFS.

fwiw I used to use nfs, but now it's always http. The logs are better.
