Hi,
Do you know which driver it is?
Also, have to you tested yet with the non pxe install images?

It's the tg3 driver (see lshw output below on same hardware running SL55). It's the only network card in the machine.

# lshw -C net
  *-network

If i boot with the SL6 install DVD and specify ks=<kickstart file> on the grub boot screen, the installation also fails to find the kickstart file (due to and reverts to a non-kickstart DVD-based install.
ctrl-alt-f2 shows the following errors
getting kickstart file
no network devices in choose network device!
no network drivers for doing kickstart
unable to bring up network

to reiterate, this was a problem in pxe installs in SL53, and working in SL55
