More on this problem: I tried to start the system via the rescue mode to
see if I could manually issue the NFS mount command. Unfortunately, the
rescue mode does not work.
So far the only thing that works is manually feeding the CDs. Which is what
I'm trying to get away from. :\

I'm trying to kickstart via nfs. At the syslinux boot prompt, I type
linux ks=nfs:slserver.privnet:/SL/51/ks/standalone
The slserver logs an authenticated mount request, so it's accepted the
request and offered the share. But, the anaconda installer fails to
register the offer and suggest I continue with an interactive install.
On screen 3, I see the following logged:
INFO : doing kickstart... setting it up
INFO : url is slserver.privnet:/SL/51/ks/standalone
INFO : file location: nfs://slserver.privnet:/SL/51/ks/standalone
ERROR : failed to open /tmp/mnt/standalone: Permission denied
ERROR : failed to copy file to /tmp/ks.cfg
I've done NFS installs since RedHat 6. Most times when it failed it was
usually an NFS problem. And I suspect this is the case here. Perhaps
some NFS4 weirdness? I'd appreciate suggestions on how to proceed.
