Sorry for replying to my own post however I figured that I should
include more information

This is an install with a fairly standard kickstart file (that has not
changed) being generated from Cobbler.  Cobbler has just had the RHEL
5.1 dvd reimported into it and this kickstart template tested with the
new import and this also fails, where it had previously worked

The install is on to a Dell PowerEdge 1950 III.

If anyone requires any more information about this please let me know,
if I find a solution I will post back to the list.

Take care.
