hey all, i'd like to thank everyone who's chimed in with suggestions for how to change the ordering of the the ethernet devices. unfortunately, i don't think any of these are going to work in my particular situation. so what's going on is i have a centralized kickstart system that uses the same generic kickstart image for all servers, and then a pair of pre-installation and post-installation scripts perform all the customization (hostname/ip address/software/partioning etc). the problem is that these scripts are on the network, so the first thing kickstart has to do is temporarily configure itself via dhcp. then it fetches the stuff that changes the settings, runs the install and the scripts, and then finally reboots into the new configuration. so the problem is that unless i start mucking around with the initrd on the boot cd there's no way to get it to use eth2 (or have eth2 show up as eth0) with this same basic kickstart config. so i guess my solution will be to either kickstart off of eth0, or burn a second kickstart disk with the eth2-using config. sean Attachment:
