a client install without kickstart over PXE works.

Can you attach the complete traceback that you received?

Comment 2 Philipp Gantert 2004-07-15 06:13:46 UTC
I solved yesterday evening my problem.
Sorry about that. 
I dowloaded the 2nd Update for Redhat Enterprise WS and RS Disc1. 
There is a newer PXE-Kernel. With these new kernels it works.

best regards and thank you
