Hi Patrick,

the device was good.
as far as i can see, for rhel5 the network in the kickstart file requires the device defined. with --device=eth0 the system installed and had network running after installation.

regarding 'Consistent Network Device Naming' ,this seems to have been introduced with RHEL6.1 the really strange thing about this was that without the device defined in the network part of the kickstart file
i needed to specify the interfaces for cobbler as em*
with eth* as interface names it didn't even was able to download the kickstart file during installation.

regards
Frank

But, in the installed system the network interface once again is eth0.
Did you try adding 'network --device=em1 ...' in your kickstart file?

Why do i have to add the system to cobbler using em interfaces instead
of the eth interfaces which are normaly used in RHEL 5 ?
The feature is called 'Consistent Network Device Naming' and you can
read more about it here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming

If you don't want any of the interface name changes then you can boot
with biosdevname=0 and use the old ethX interface names. Optionally
don't install the biosdevname package.

If you want to change an already installed system back to using ethX
then I guess you'll have to boot it with biosdevname=0 then delete
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and fix the filenames in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ (mv ifcfg-emX ifcfg-ethX) and fix the
DEVICE="emX" entry in those ifcfg-emX files. Never tried it so YMMV.

HTH,
Patrick
