yes - i got around it by editing node file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
(see previous email)...instead of ksdevice=eth0 i did
ksdevice=bootif...this worked. you are absolutely right that since this
node has additional card with 2 10GbE ports in it, RH was confusing eth0
for something else. node is booted/installed now and eth2 is configured
with node's ip address.
i tried jarrod's suggestion of blanking out installnic= but did not try
blanking out primarynic...i'll try that on another login node later today.
i have 4 to deploy and 2 are already done by editing ksdevice
statement...i'll try other two by blanking out both installnic and
primarynic
