I spent a few hours last night wondering why my install of CentOS 6.1 kept
failing for various network failures which are hard to debug from within
Anaconda when I finally ran across this:

http://old.nabble.com/net6501-network-interface-issues-when-installing-Linux-%28CentOS%29-td33037882.html

Is there a fix/workaround accessible from Anaconda for this yet? Maybe
something I can pass the kernel on boot? I was PXE booting the latest CentOS 6
from a freshly copied mirror and still had the issue. My next step will be to
try CentOS 5.7 on it although I would really like 6 since CentOS 5 is already
almost 5 years into its supported lifetime. I could put Fedora 16 on if I
really had to although this is a firewall which I would like to have a more
long-term supported distro on.  And that's assuming the problem is fixed in
Fedora 16.

I may just get a SATA CD ROM drive to plug into the mobo (bummer that USB CD
doesn't work) and install it that way. That should work, right? Although I'm
not sure how I would make it use the serial console in that case...
