Using a kickstart file that has been used for RHAS21 and RH80 installs and ported to RH81 under HP's Rapid Deployment Pack, the unattended install will not continue past the "Networking Devices" dialog w/o user intervention. Have the command "network --bootproto dhcp" in kickstart file. See text at bottom of issue. Receive "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which would you like to install through?" message and the choices for "eth0" and "eth1" for my two embedded NIC unit. After choosing eth0, the system will continue with the unattended install using info in kickstart file. Tried forcing the device in ks file using "network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp" without success. Tested on DL320, DL360G2, and DL380G2 with same failed result. Only one NIC (eth0) plugged into network on each system. I read RELEASE-NOTES file on beta 4 CD#1 and no indication that this "network" kickstart command has changed and how. # # For information on the kickstart mechanism, see # The Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide. # lang en_US langsupport en_US network --bootproto dhcp # # This assumes the NFS export is setup with the Red Hat Linux CDs #1 and #2 # nfs --server 10.0.0.3 --dir /usr/cpqrdp/rh81 keyboard "us" zerombr yes clearpart --all part /boot --size 20 --fstype ext2 # swap size should be (2 * #MB of memory) part swap --size 1024 part / --size 3072 --grow --fstype ext2 install mouse genericps/2 --emulthree timezone --utc America/Chicago xconfig --monitor "generic monitor" firewall --disabled # # Please pick a new root password and encrypt it.

Nothing has changed, you just need to pass 'ksdevice=<dev>' on the boot command line if you have multiple interfaces. Here '<dev>' is something like 'eth0'.
Please verify this Michael Fulbright's clarification works and we can close...
