Hi Nate
3: After the error comes up I get the HTTP setup configuration
screen with
the source website (in IP) and CentOS directory as I entered
them in the
pxeconfiguration file and as it appears in the kickstart
configuration file
and all I have to do is press the 'OK' button to continue the
installation
to a successful completion.
If that's the case the next most likely culprit is
url --url http://192.168.11.1/source
Just because the PXE boot loader can download the kickstart config does not mean that the installation process will work with that NIC.
Also I've had lots of broadcom systems not work with kickstart over the years, it's not uncommon for newer systems to have newer revs of the chipsets and those revs not being supported by the installer.
But it sounds like in your case it does work, so I would look at the url above, as it likely is the cause of the problem. Check the http access logs on the server for 404s and similar errors.

Hi Nate
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 192.168.11.1 http://192.168.11.1 ... All cables are good cables. The network switch is a Cisco 3750G with no configuration) and all the NICs are broadcom with firmware 3.8.9. http://3.8.9. Can you throw a guess where the problem might be lying (I hate inconsistencies)?
Have you check apache logs for something. Check also the server messages

Hi Romeo
Yes I did, and nothing shows up in either access_log or error_log :-( I just had a node that stopped asking me for IP configuration (twice) and only on the second time (checked on the server using tcpdump) did it actually try to contact the server to retrieve network configuration continue and it successfully retrieved 'stage2.img' from the web server :-(
