Please, boot with the "rd.debug" boot option and attach /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt. Thanks

Comment 3 Gopi 2016-05-30 15:34:59 UTC

Added nfsver=4 in pxe file. And it worked.

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2016-07-22 11:56:49 UTC

maybe
nfs4:10.200.203.254://home/iserver/kickstart/image/kickstart.conf
instead of
nfs:10.200.203.254://home/iserver/kickstart/image/kickstart.conf
