[rhn-users] RHEL 4 WS install from FTP problem in kickstart

[luxun]

Hi,

I solve the problem.

Because my host has 2 NIC, A and B.
In RHEL 3, NIC A is defined as eth0, NIC B is defined as eth1.
In RHEL 4, NIC A is defined as eth1, NIC B is defined as eth0.

Connect all the NIC with wire, the installation will continue.

Thanks a lot.
