Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting kickstart installations going on a couple of 
servers with intel gigabit NICs.

The symptoms match what's described in
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110036

Initial network setup works, but after the NIC is brought up for the 
second time, things just fail. Even the link indicator is off, and the 
switch doesn't think there's anything connected to the other end of the 
cable any longer (switches are cisco gear, and we tried different models 
even running different OSs).

A non-kickstart NFS installation works fine (at least up to the point 
where I see the graphical installer - haven't really done it yet).
I can also boot a 3.0.4 rescue system and bring the interface up and down
and up again many times in a row without problems.

Red Hat issued an erratum
    http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2004-518.html

that's supposed to fix these problems. I wonder: did these fixes make it 
into what's used during a kickstart installation of SL 3.0.4?

Any additional hints are much apreciated.


Thanks,
  	Stephan
