Thank you all for your suggestions. I appreciate the discussion. There are two network statements in the kick start file because that is the way that Anaconda creates /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You may recall that anaconda-ks.cfg is the file of kick start statements created when a configuration is specified with the GUI. When the Hostname is specified at the bottom of the Network Configuration screen the second network statement is added to anaconda-ks.cfg:
network --hostname=lamp.hunter.org I was following Anaconda's pattern. I tried again after combining the options of the two network statements into a single statement. Now everything works as expected. I was certain that I had tried this once before without the expected results. I was obviously confused. Thank you again.
