That seems likely, but I don't think it is ksdevice related or we'd be
hearing about it a lot more.

That interface found should be the one used for all requests.    

This is what I thought, then its more likely its a RHEL 5.3 issue, because I can install Centos 5.2 without issue, using the same ksdevice option.

Any one can report succuess with RHEL 5.3 ?

Make
sure your /etc/cobble/pxe/ templates have "IPAPPEND 2" in them.  The new
ones do.  (make sure no .rpmnew files are lying around)

You could perhaps have some sort of proxy/cache in the way too?

I have no .rpmnew files lying around, and  its 1.6.2, which have the ipappend value. When you say proxy/cache, are you thinking something between cobbler and they server being built? If so, I have no proxy on my network.
