Boot parameters not working

[Gabrie]

Hi

For auto-install of ESX hosts, I use kickstart (through the Ultimate
Deployment Appliance UDA). This UDA generates my kickstart file and boot
parameters.

I've noticed that when using the nic at 1000Mb - Full Duplex, the kickstart
scripts stops after "doing kickstart... setting it up". When at cisco switch
level I change the port speed to 100Mb - Full Duplex, the script runs fine.
Unfortunately, after the install is finished, I realy need that 1000Mb, so I
would be nice if I could configure the nic at 100 during install.

I tried adding " eth0_ethtool='speed 100 duplex full'  " to the boot
parameters line, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

My bootline looks like:
append ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool='speed 100 duplex full'
load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.esx301 network ks=
http://172.29.26.249/kickstart/es020.cfg ESXIP=20

Any tips?
