I have converted my 6.0 ks.cfg file to work with 6.1. I have tried to validate all of my script against the 6.1 documentation and it appears to all be valid to me. But my problem is that since I have the Intel Tulip 21143-PD network cards I have to feed kickstart a noprobe to be able to specify that it should use the de4x5 driver so that I can install. Then I upgrade the kernels tulip driver to version .91 and life is happy. Well like I said above, the 6.1 kickstart system seems to ignore the noprobe flag and still loads the tulip driver which doesnt' work. I can do it by hand with expert, but I'm not excited about doing 111 machines by hand. Here is my ks.cfg file: ############################################################################### # Kick Start Config File for IBxx Compute Node Last Changed: Oct 19th, 1999 # AUTHOR: Brian D.

This issue has been assigned to a developer for further action.
In the next release, you should specify "noprobe" as a kernel option to get this behavior.
