[CentOS] kickstart and 5.2 x86_64 giving errors.
When I use my kickstart file (which works on 5.1 x86_64) with 5.2 I get
the following error.
I put my kickstart file at the end.
Do I have something incomaptible in the file?

In fact, if each interface had the same IP, then the whole network in that IP range, on the server, would be problematic - and there would be not traffic flowing through. For TCP/IP to work properly, each interface has to have a unique IP address (and depending on the subnet, a different subnet mask / gateway pair as well). Each XEN interface is also a seperate interface, but it uses the bridgetools to work properly - i.e. connect directly to the external network. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
