If that's the case the next most likely culprit is<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
Just because the PXE boot loader can download the kickstart<br>
config does not mean that the installation process will work<br>
with that NIC.<br>
<br>
Also I've had lots of broadcom systems not work with kickstart over<br>
the years, it's not uncommon for newer systems to have newer<br>
revs of the chipsets and those revs not being supported by the<br>
installer.<br>
<br>
But it sounds like in your case it does work, so I would look<br>
at the url above, as it likely is the cause of the problem. Check<br>
the http access logs on the server for 404s and similar errors.<br>

Hi Nate<br>
<br></div>
After figuring what I was doing wrong (see previous reply ...) I started going through each of my systems in order to boot them and install CentOS 5.2 on each. For the most part it works, but only for the most part? Because once in a few boots (not machine specific) anaconda stops and either asks me what interface it needs to configure or fails to load 'stage2.img' from the web server on <a href="http://192.168.11.1" target="_blank">192.168.11.1</a> <<a href="http://192.168.11.1" target="_blank">http://192.168.11.1</a>> ... All cables are good cables. The network switch is a Cisco 3750G with no configuration) and all the NICs are broadcom with firmware <a href="http://3.8.9." target="_blank">3.8.9.</a> <<a href="http://3.8.9" target="_blank">http://3.8.9</a>.> Can you throw a guess where the problem might be lying (I hate inconsistencies)?<br>

Have you check apache logs for something. Check also the server messages<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
