Hello, I kickstart systems using following PXE stanza:<br />
<br />
label c5-64<br />
kernel centos-5.5-x86_64/vmlinuz<br />
append noipv6 ksdevice=bootif noupdate initrd=centos-5.5-x86_64/initrd.img ks=nfs:darkstar.cam.nist.gov:/configs/ks.cfg method=nfs:darkstar.cam.nist.gov:/centos/5/os/x86_64<br />
<br />
This fails to nfs mount darkstar.cam.nist.gov:/centos/5/os/x86_64 in CentOS 5.5; when text dialog appears "The directory could not be mounted from the server", can replace hostname with one of it's IP's (multi-homed host) and it continues.<br />
<br />
Replacing above PXE with method=nfs:129.6.88.116:/centos/5/os/x86_64 works.<br />
<br />
Hostnames worked (and still does) in CentOS 5.4.<br />
<br />
Note each anaconda.log (including the ones that work) include the line: no DNS servers, can't look up hostname. Must be a bogus message.
