Why is it looping?


Ah, the dreaded installer DHCP problem. This seems to indicate that your system failed to DHCP in time. There are known timing issues with Anaconda at that stage, after it resets the network card, where pump doesn't have a sufficiently long timeout.

Here's a custom search engine for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

It probably is a network configuration issue -- most likely this one:

There's also a writeup here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/NetworkIssues

Hopefully that gets you further along. If Anaconda can't get network info, it will prompt for it -- it never had a chance to request the kickstart in your case because it didn't have an IP at that stage.
