Good luck.

ByEtzion 16/06/2007

Since it required only slight adjustments, and since there were two sets of systems, RHEL3 Update2 and RHEL4 Update3, I have decided to use Kickstart for both, each with his own ks.cfg file.

Target-based persistent device naming

RHEL4 tends to change network interfaces names
ByEtzion 06/07/2007

RHEL4 tends to change the names of network cards when there are more than one. If you had a NIC called eth0 during install time, it doesn’t mean that it will maintain that name after the first reboot. It could switch names with its friend, and be called now eth1, while the previous eth1 name…
