Just to confirm we do sl51 installs with nfs kickstart files all the time 
and it works fine for us - in our case we are PXE booting with pxelinux 
but that shouldn't make much difference anyway.

If you boot from the CDs and get to the console-2 bash prompt can you NFS 
mount the directory from that server by hand?

Can you run tcpdump on the nfs server and see if that sheds any light on 
what the problem might be?
