[rhn-users] RHEL4 upgrade kickstart failures

[David Miller]

I've made several attempts at using the remote kickstart feature on RHN 
to get a few RHEL3 machines upgraded to RHEL4.  However, every time I 
try it, the machine boots as if it's doing a manual install and prompts 
for the language (even though the language is specifically stated on the 
form I filled out on the RHN site to create the kickstart).  The 
kickstart was told to use the machine's existing profile for the upgrade.

Checking the logs shows a message "no appropriate device for kickstart 
method is available" with no other errors to indicate what device it 
can't find or anything.

Anyone have any ideas where to look?  Googling for that error message 
didn't turn up much, and the little bit it did turn up was stuff with 
trying to compile custom drivers for Red Hat Linux 7.1, which is quite 
old these days.
