Are there any known issues with kickstarting over nfs with jumbo frames?

Is the system your kickstarting configured with jumbo frames? Last I checked I didn't see an option to enable jumbo frames during kickstart.

If not, are you able to force TCP for NFS? UDP doesn't have MTU discovery as far as I know, so traffic will likey fail.

Any reason not to use HTTP for kickstart? Faster, simpler, runs over TCP..

Doesn't this take a considerable amount of setup work on the server side per-distro/per-version? For NFS you only have to download images into directories under an nfs export.
