Is there a way to have the second phase network configuration NOT take place,
Not that I know of.
or have it use the interface that was correctly downloading the kickstart file ?
Yes!
I do something similar here. I use a script to generate the "network" line, because I want to choose my IPs and netmasks during installation and I don't want to hardcode them in the ks.cfg file.
Here is what I do:
I create a %pre section to ks.cfg, this will be a script (in my case a Python script) that will ask the user for any needed information. Then it will look up the boot-up interface by looking at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf and choosing the first entry that starts with "eth", then it will generate a "network" line and save it to /tmp/netconfig.
Then, before on the ks.cfg file, where the network configuration is expected, I use a %include /tmp/netconfig
For me, it works like a charm! Let us know if you try it and it works for you.
