Hi Jasper,<br><br>Your pointer has led me to the problem - it seems that the substitution $ip_address no longer works in my kickstart files :(<br><br>[root@gcisvlin-cobbler ~]# cobbler system add --name=&quot;gcisvlin-ldap&quot; --mac=&quot;00:50:56:ac:55:f4&quot; --ip=10.5.100.70 --hostname=gcisvlin-ldap --profile=rhel5-i386 --gateway=10.5.100.1<br>
[root@gcisvlin-cobbler ~]# cobbler system getks --name=gcisvlin-ldap | grep network<br>network --device eth0 --bootproto static<b> --ip=$ip_address</b> --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=10.5.10.254 --nameserver 10.5.10.20,10.3.10.20 --hostname gcisvlin-ldap<br>
[root@gcisvlin-cobbler ~]# cat /etc/cobbler/ks-rhel5.ks | grep network<br>network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip=$ip_address --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=$gateway --nameserver 10.5.10.20,10.3.10.20 --hostname $hostname<br>
<br>What is the &quot;new&quot; substitution for an IP address?<br><br>Many thanks,<br><br>Alex<br>
