Hi Joseph

  I boot via NIC0 and my configurations are as follows:
pxe (for node3):
default ks
prompt 0
label ks
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ksdevice=bootif noapic
acpi=off ks=http://192.168.11.1/kickstart/n03.ks
        ipappend 2

kickstart file (for node3):
# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.

install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --hostname n003.example.com
network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname
n003.example.com
network --device eth2 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname
n003.example.com
network --device eth3 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname
n003.example.com
url --url http://192.168.11.1/source
rootpw --iscrypted ?????????????????????????????????
firewall --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
selinux --disabled
timezone --utc Asia/Jerusalem
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="noapic acpi=off"
# The following is the partition information you requested
# Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed
# here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is
# not guaranteed to work
zerombr
clearpart --all --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda
part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.2
.
.
.


If you made it all the way down here ... I did try to put ksdevice=eth0 in
the PXE configuration file, but it only made things worse :-(
