Kickstart interactively prompts for information that is already provided.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Non-interactive install with kickstart using a pxe boot with NFS as the protocol.  When the system starts up it complains that it is having problems mounting the distribution off the NFS server and it  prompts to change the information. Without changing anything, just select ok and then the kickstart proceeds finishing succesfully.  Since nothing was changed, it really didn't fail and could have finished without interaction.  Why did it ask for changing the information?

Environment
