Hi!

|I've configured DHCP and PXE for a network kickstart install. DHCP
|works, pxe works, the kernel (from images/pxeboot) and initrd.img
|load, I've passed the ks option as a boot parameter, the machine
|sends a DHCP request, gets a response, but then makes no attempt
|to contact the NFS server for a ks.cfg file.

Are you using by any chance a NIC that needs the e1000.ko driver?
If so (or even if not so ;)) try it with a hub in between the client
and the switch and see if your problem goes away... There are some
_issues_ with this driver and anaconda :)

Good luck,

Jeroen
