If you don't change VC what's the last thing to print out on VC1 (the
blue screen (hmm...))?
Does anything happen if left for a full 5 minutes? Sometimes NFS
timeouts can be rather slow.
If you have access on the NFS server, does # tcpdump -n host <kickstart
client IP address> show any activity?

On the main console window, the last thing I see is the following:
Md: ... Auto run Done.
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
And no, leaving it go, even for an hour or more doesn't do anything
either. I am going to run tcpdump and see if I can gleam any additional
information from it and will report back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
