Fedora 7 Kickstart / Stage2 Issue

[David Hageman]

I have been using kickstart to setup our computer labs for the last 
several releases of Fedora.  I thought while I had some time, that I would 
implement a cobbler setup and roll out Fedora 7.

I am running into an issue with kickstarting Fedora 7.

I use the boot.iso to create a bootable CD which from the command line 
type in my kickstart command:  ks=http://<pathtoks.cfg>

Anaconda starts up, grabs an IP address, grabs the kickstart file and at 
this point attempts to re-initialize the interface using DHCP.  The system 
queries via DHCP several times before it gives up and attempts to retrieve 
stage2 which fails ...

I am at a loss because I watch the DHCP server logs and it sees all the 
queries and responds to each one.  It is like anaconda is ignoring the 
responses.

I have looked at the mailing list for previous problems and solutions and 
have even set portfast on the port in question, but it failed to help me.

I have also set various other options such as noipv6 ksdevice=link 
loglevel=debug without any success.

Anyone have any ideas on this?
