[CentOS] kickstart: gfx vs. txt mode

Hello,

I seem to recall from my redhat5/6/7 days that certain installation methods used for kickstarting only invoked text mode install. Now I read that graphical install is default in kickstart on el5/6. However, in my test environment (with older HP DL140G3) I only get text mode install up, even if I specify graphical in kickstart file, with both nfs and http install methods. There's no clues on third console, only an info message about display mode being set to 't'.

Any clues what am I missing?
