Passing to QA to verify. does modifying your network line in your kickstart file (as below) help: network --bootproto dhcp --device eth1 The manual says that --device eth1 would only work with "linux ks=floppy". I tried it anyway, and the dialog box still asks for eth0 or eth1. I choose eth1. VC3 shows eth0 is being used, but dhcp request now goes through eth1. VC3 shows "* ks server: 192.168.4.1:/.../KsFloppy file: ks-nfs.cfg" which is as configured in the DHCP server. VC3 loads the Ethernet modules and says "* kickstarting through device eth0 * sending dhcp request through device eth1 * nodns is 0 * mounting nfs path host:/mnt/cdrom/RedHat * pump told us: No DHCP reply received" I forgot to mention, I had to go through dialog screens about language and installing from NFS image and using DHCP on VC1. It was like it didn't read the ks-nfs.cfg file. hmmm ... I am unable to reproduce that behavior here in test ... Using both a eepro100 and ec59x NIC, with the line in the ks file: network --bootproto dhcp --device eth1 I was not presented w/a dialog box asking which device (eth0 or eth1) ... what was your syslinux command line ...? Can you attach your ks.cfg file used ...? Closing due to inactivity. # ks.cfg -- RedHat 7.0 Kickstart for CellNet IH # Wed Nov 1 12:49:34 PST 2000 # Roger C.
