From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: Trying to install on a Dell Inspiron 4150 in a docking station. The dock's ethernet port is recognized as eth1. The installer asks which interface I wish to use, but regardless of choice trys to obtain a dhcp address on eth0 only and fails (since it is not plugged in). I'm giving install parameters like: linux ks=nfs:<server>:<dir> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get machine with two ethernet ports. 2. Only connect eth1 3. Try install with ks=nfs:<server>:<dir> Actual Results: Install fails attempting to obtain dhcp address for eth0. Expected Results: Install should use eth1. Additional info:
Sorry, problem was caused by a line in the kickstart config file: network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp Removing the "--device eth0" appears to have cleared it up.
