And after picking this back up this morning .... still no dice. I have now blacklisted the one module that would enumerate the add-in ethernet port so that is no longer an issue during the kickstart process, however the following is now happening:
- kickstart completes successfully using the machine's physical port 2 (or eth1) which is on a subnet with DHCP - when the system reboots, it brings up port 1 (eth0) with the correct static IP information, HOWEVER ... - port 2 (eth1) is NOT configured properly. When I look at it's ifcfg-eth1 file, its bootproto is set to none when it should be set to dhcp. - the add-in card has not been enumerated, in fact the system doesn't even know it's there (dmesg has no mention of it and no module loaded)
So for port 2 (eth1), the kickstart file has it configured as a dhcp interface, so why when the system reboots it comes up with bootproto=none? On the other hand, port 1 (eth0) does come up with the static information as it should - that info is also set in the kickstart file.
Baffled ...

That's what I figured, so I can remove it from the kickstart file, no problem. The question then becomes, if kickstart doesn't configure it, what happens when the system reboots after install? It won't know what to do with that interface, correct?
Is this a case where I will need to put an ifcfg-eth2 file in place during post-install?
Upon reboot the system *should* generate a base one for you as it will see it as a new interface. Not a big deal if it does not though, just create one yourself. You will want to add it to the udev rules file though. You can re-run the script I sent to do that if you want. At that point it should be eth2. Or you can edit the existing one by copying a line and changing the MAC and eth* to whatever you need.

Check the installed kernel append line to make sure the rdblacklist option is not being pulled from the kickstart boot line. If it is you can add this to the kickstart post install section:
/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e 's/rdblacklist=MODULENAME//' /boot/grub/grub.conf
So for port 2 (eth1), the kickstart file has it configured as a dhcp interface, so why when the system reboots it comes up with bootproto=none?
As I pointed out the script I sent changes all interfaces to DHCP=none.
If you are using it and you don't want it to do that then remove this line:
/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e 's/dhcp/none/' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${NETDEV}-tmp
On the other hand, port 1 (eth0) does come up with the static information as it should - that info is also set in the kickstart file.

Nope, it doesn't add it to the kernel boot parameters. That was the first thing I checked.
As for the bootproto ... DUH. I didn't check that. :) That being solved, yeah it's not bringing up the add-in card now when it boots up.

What about a blacklist line somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d ?
I have never noticed anaconda adding one there but it is worth checking.
Also, when you check dmesg, are you looking for the expected module name or eth2?
