RHEL6 kickstart not seeing kickstart file name

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 a kernel option like ks=http://10.0.0.1/ leads to anaconda requesting http://10.0.0.1/10.0.0.2-kickstart when a server with ip 10.0.0.2 issues the request
  • On RHEL 6 the kickstart filename no longer gets constructed, only an attempt to fetch http://10.0.0.1/ is performed

Environment

  • kickstart of RHEL6
