I thank you all for the comments, solutions and suggestions.
as of yesterday, I was able to install RHEL5.5 via kickstart using linux
ks=http://192.168xxx.xxx/redhat/ks.cfg dhcptimeout=500
although it still asks me as to which ethernet to use, (eth0..eth5). it
continues afterwards. I tried specifying ksdevice=eth0 and noipv6 but the
installation wont proceed and keeps on coming back to the ipv4 and ipv6
selections.
I will try all the suggestions & options mentioned here.
thanks,
Sirjune

Perhaps - I didn't read the Dell solution as specifying MAC addresses is
sufficient and already available, at least for my requirements (Ethernet
interfaces)
All the best
