You have a underscore instead of a hyphen in the kickstart output, no?

Tim,
When I've seen this in the past it is usually because the network for the machine being kickstarted is either not setup or incorrect.
I'd verify that the network information is correct and utilizing it without any routes that you can get to these media locations.

hello list!
I am having trouble with the install url portion of the kickstart file. The ks was working in the recent past and honestly I'm not sure what may have changed to break the darn thing.
First is the mirror url I am attempting to use:
## use mirror to install url --url http://mirror.trouble-free.net/centos/5.6/os/x86_64/
Now if you pump that url into your browser you should see a viable installer location. But this is what happens in the installer:
Welcome to CentOS
+-----------------+ HTTP Setup +------------------+ | | | Please enter the following information: | | | | o the name or IP number of your Web server | | o the directory on that server containing | | CentOS for your architecture | | | | Web site name: mirror.trouble-free.net_ | | CentOS directory: /centos/5.6/os/x86_64/__ | | | | +----+ +------+ | | | OK | | Back | | | +----+ +------+ | | | | | +-------------------------------------------------+
<Tab>/<Alt-Tab> between elements | <Space> selects | <F12> next screen
Next I tried the NFS media I have used in the past without kickstart.
# Use NFS installation media nfs --server=192.168.1.250 --dir=/mnt/DVD
Now with this I can type the appropriate command on the command line and have it mount:
[root@LCENT03:~] #mount 192.168.1.250:/mnt/DVD /mnt/DVD [root@LCENT03:~] #cd /mnt/DVD [root@LCENT03:/mnt/DVD] #ls CentOS RELEASE-NOTES-cs RELEASE-NOTES-en_US RELEASE-NOTES-ja RELEASE-NOTES-ro EULA RELEASE-NOTES-cs.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html RELEASE-NOTES-ja.html RELEASE-NOTES-ro.html GPL RELEASE-NOTES-de RELEASE-NOTES-es RELEASE-NOTES-nl repodata images RELEASE-NOTES-de.html RELEASE-NOTES-es.html RELEASE-NOTES-nl.html RPM-GPG-KEY-beta isolinux RELEASE-NOTES-en RELEASE-NOTES-fr RELEASE-NOTES-pt_BR RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 NOTES RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-fr.html RELEASE-NOTES-pt_BR.html TRANS.TBL
But in the installer this is what happens:
Welcome to CentOS
+----------------------+ NFS Setup +----------------------+ | | | Please enter the following information: | | | | o the name or IP number of your NFS server | | o the directory on that server containing | | CentOS for your architecture | | o optionally, parameters for the NFS mount | | | | NFS server name: 192.168.1.250___________ | | CentOS directory: /mnt/DVD________________ | | NFS mount options (optional): ________________________ | | | | +----+ +------+ | | | OK | | Back | | | +----+ +------+ | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------+
<Tab>/<Alt-Tab> between elements | <Space> selects | <F12> next screen
I'd really appreciate it if a fresh set of eyes could help spot the problem and possibly posit a solution.
