Thanks Connie!

I am pretty sure there is something wrong on my side but I cannot find 
what. This morning I downloaded again 7.1 distrib (rsync) and I have 
still the same problem. But a collegue of mine did the same and it works 
for him. He sent me his kickstart file and using exactly the same one 
(except the url to the distrib) I still have the problem...

Installing from 7.0 (with errata) works...

I cannot imagine that this problem is impacted by the firmware... I 
never saw such a weird problem! I dont understand where the 
/lib/modules/3.10.0.123 can come from when booting 7.1 vmlinuz+initrd.

Cheers,

Michel
