We have CentOS 6 manual installation working by PXE booting from a RHEL5.6 PXE/TFTP server. However, when we add a Kickstart file in the PXE configuration:
kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img networkks=nfs:130.226.86.4:/u/rpm/kickstart/ks-centos-6-clean-i386.cfg
then the CentOS 6 client install reports "Unable to download the kickstart file". The console 3 reports "failed to mount nfs source". We believe the NFS server is OK because we can install CentOS5 clients in this way.

However, on the centos list I see some people who apparently go Kickstart to work with CentOS 6 - but how did they do it?
Question: What special configuration is required for either 1) PXE or 2) the DHCP server?
I just cloned the 5.6 install, and it worked.
Well, kinda. You may have seen, or missed, the thread a couple weeks ago, about this: we do have a local repository, and comps.xml was missing. Then, having now switched to my new workstation, I found that window manager names changes (like KDE and Gnome), so they weren't installed, and for some reason, xorg was not a prerequisite. OO.o, btw, has had a group name change as well.
