	Thanks Colin for the quick response 

	 

	Yes.  It does have.  It's a Dell PE2950.

	 

	I have already tried that option as well.  

	I tried both ksdevice=eth0 and ksdevice=eth1 and they don't
work.

	 

	-Mukarram.

	Does the machine you're on have multiple Ethernet interfaces?
If so, what you may find is adding 'ksdevice=link' will assist.

		Hi 

		I am sure there is some information regarding my
request, but I am unable to find it, hence the post.

		 

		I configured my kickstart server using http.

		I am able to pxeboot the client, but my client is not
able to get the netstg2.img file from the server.

		I am able to http into my netstg2.img directory from a
web browser from another server in the same subnet successfully.

		 

		Also I tried to put in a boot cdrom and run the
following:

		Linux
ks=http://<ServerIP>/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg ip=<ClientIP>
netmask=255.255.255.224 gateway=<GatewayIP>

		 

		Still no luck. It goes straight to the cd installer.

		 

		I tried to tcpdump the traffic on the MAC address of the
client, it outputs the tftp information and after that it stops.

		I don't see any http traffic coming from the client.

		 

		I'd appreciate some help in this regard.  

		I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot this but no
luck.

		 

		Thanks Much
