Hi Aviv,

Try using "ksdevice=bootif" in your Anaconda configuration.

Your customer seem to be suffering from the default kickstart behavior which 
uses the first device with a usable link (ksdevice=link).
ksdevice=bootif should ensure that kickstart can proceed over the same device 
the machine was PXE-booted from.

See references below for details.

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential

Hi All,

Maybe you can advise here –
In general, this is nothing to do with boot order of network interfaces - at 
this point there is only one interface is connected on the server (R730) , and 
it's booting properly form PXE server, and starting the installation.
The customer  already using biosdevname=0 option in PXE boot, and kernel 
parameters after the installation in grub.conf file - So naming is not the 
issue here.
In both cases, when using biosdevname=0 or not, 10G interfaces were recognized 
by installer as a first two interfaces.
Customer would like to change the order that RHEL 6 installer recognizes the 
network cards during the installation and after reboot too, and not the naming 
or boot order.
Any advise ?
Thanks ,
Aviv
