May be your syntax, try this:

Mine -> network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.254.2
--netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.254.254 --nameserver
24.159.64.20,24.159.64.21 --hostname moe
Your -> network --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.254.2
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.254.254 --nameserver=24.159.64.20
--hostname=curly

Note the subtle differences.  Get rid of the equal signs and try it again.
I use KS everyday and have no problems with my network installs.

Hello List, 
I've done a lot of kickstart installs, but I'm having a problem with this
one. (RH 8.0) 
After the install, my network is not configured correctly, I have to run
setup and configure it manually for it to work.
Here's the relevant portion of ks.cfg, I've tried the network line with
--device=eth0, no joy. 
The network line my wrap in your mail client, it is not wrapped in ks.cfg.

Any ideas?
