From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: Contrary to the docs in the customization guide, booting with `linux ks' doesn't contact the dhcp server, at least when booting off the installation cd. In VT3, I find the message: * grabbing kickstart from nfs with dhcp next-server currently unsupported but this is certainly a glitch, since I have only one dhcp server active in this network, and it definitely doesn't have the next-server option set. Besides, it was not contacted at all from the boot to the appearance of the message. Adding `askmethod' to the boot line doesn't help. Trying at random `ks=nfs' changes the message to `reading kickstart file', regardless of the presence of askmethod or not, but it just hangs there, without having ever contacted the dhcp server. `ks=nfs:' works as far as setting up networking goes, but it doesn't grab information from dhcp as I had hoped it might. `ks=dhcp:' (desperate try! :-) hangs just like `ks=nfs' . The solution was to boot `linux ks=nfs:server:/pathname', which is sub-optimal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phoebe2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use a dhcp server that had been used for kickstart installs of up to RHL7.3 2.boot off the cd with linux ks Actual Results: it doesn't bring up the network interface to obtain dhcp ks information Expected Results: according to the docs, it should Additional info:
