I'm trying to install Red Hat 6.1 using a kickstart file.  The kickstart 
file is located on an NFS server in /kickstart.  The file name is 
ks.cfg.  When my RH 6.1 CD boots, I enter linux 
ks=nfs:172.17.3.243:/kickstart/ks.cfg  After the everything loads, I get 
dumped into the graphical installer with no messages.  I know the kickstart 
file is valid as I can copy it to a floppy and it runs just fine.  I know 
the DHCP server, which is seperate from the NFS server, is ok.  I know the 
NFS server is ok as I can mount /kickstart to any of my other boxes.  Any 
ideas?  I know that the DHCP server can specify the kickstart file but I do 
not have access to the DHCP server and want to specify the file 
myself.  The Red Hat reference guide says this is an option, but I can get 
it to work.  I've also tried including ks.cfg in the initrd.img on the CD, 
but can't figure out how to load that either.  I can drop to a shell once 
the install off the CD starts and see the file there, but linux 
ks=file:/ks.cfg doesn't work either.  Am I missing something?
