Do you have "--onboot=yes" on the "network" line of the kickstart

Hello! Thank you for the responses. I tinkered with a few variations,
but have not made much progress.

I started out with this line in my kickstart:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on

And I thought maybe that was the problem, but even after the change I
still have the same problem with no DHCP on boot. Here is some more
information:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

I changed that to the following, but still it doesn't get a DHCP IP
until I run `ifup eth0`:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="00:22:19:E1:28:36"
IPV6INIT="yes"
MTU="1500"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
NETWORKING="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
UUID="61008086-5e0e-4db2-8732-5b62bf5fc866"

I went back to the original ifcfg-eth0 and installed NetworkManager (and
all of these other packages: ConsoleKit ConsoleKit-libs ModemManager
NetworkManager-glib avahi-autoipd dbus dnsmasq eggdbus libdaemon
libgudev1 libnl libpcap libudev mobile-broadband-provider-info polkit
ppp wpa_supplicant), and now I get a DHCP IP on boot, but I don't
understand why I have to install a bunch of extra packages to get a DHCP
IP on boot.

What am I missing here?

Thank you!
