Re: [Xen-users] Kickstart

A few things things that you may try:
1. Don't use the FQDN, use the IP of the webserver. I found the DNS argument in the extra line rarely works.
2. is the routing between xen guest and webserver right. Are there and firewall issues?
3. is the url spelt correctly? Have you missed any case-sensitivity in the path?

Those are the things that usually trip me up.

Is the url really "http://mydomain/ks..."?  If it is then you probably
   

That was just an example. I am using FQDN.
 

That's the problem with edited examples :-)

Regardless, I'd start by looking in the web server logs and if there's nothing there, break out wireshark.  If that doesn't show anything then your network isn't being set up.   I'm not entirely sure if the ip=... parameters are honoured by the centos kernel, you may want to move the IP configuration into the extra line so that the kernel can pick them up from there.  Either that or configure a dhcp server so that the kernel can configure itself early.   Might also be worth swapping the domain name for an IP address.
