At the boot prompt, I did the following: linux ksdevice=eth0 ip=10.254.254.125 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.254.254.1 dns=10.1.1.21 ks=nfs:10.254.242.33:/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3/ks.cfg I get a blue screen with "Welcome to CentOS-4 i386" in the left upper corner, with the typical navigation key instructions at the bottom. It just hangs there. I ping the IP address above, and get no pongs. Suggestions? === Al
