have setup a tftpboot that points to a vmlinuz indicates that the mac address that shows up will be eth0 and reiterate that in the kickstart.cfg

the pxeboot goes fine, vmliniz loads and presents me with a menu that wants me to choose what NIC interface to use! The former eth0 is now determined to be eth2 and of course after the kickstart is installed and rebooted leaves me with a box that has eth0 configured with a different MAC address and isnt wired correctly.

Any idea on how to enforce mac inst to follow presets?
thanx,
bill

are you doing a minimal pxeboot or cdrom install? If a pxeboot how do you pin the NIC order to the MAC addresses. My kickstart works fine, just leaves the /etc/sysconfig/net*scripts to be manually configured from the console. Pain in the ass, might as well do a cdrom install and yum as you say
