Hi James -
I verified the MAC, it is correct.
[root@cobbler cobbler]# cobbler --version
Cobbler 2.2.2
source: ?, ?
build time: Thu Apr 12 02:51:40 2012
[root@cobbler cobbler]#
[root@cobbler cobbler]# syslinux --version
syslinux 4.02 Copyright 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al
[root@cobbler cobbler]#
I am using the %pre network config, it looks like the old version was not overwritten, I
overwrote it with new version but that did not fix it.
Target OS is CentOS 6.2.
I also tried ksdevice=mac but that did not work.
These are new Supermicro servers but I find it hard to believe it is a NIC issue (like you
said that is a long shot)..

Hi all –
Hoping someone can help me out, my google searches seem to have been
exhausted.
I have deployed off of cobbler in the past and need to deploy 40 more
servers tonight. I added my systems like I did previously, using the
same profiles that worked fine before.
The only major change I can think of is upgrading cobbler itself.
When the server boots it gets ks file fine (it seems) but immediately
goes into the “You have multiple network interfaces which do you want
to install through”.
I have read the various discussions about adding ipappend 2 (which
still seems to be happening) along with using ksdevice=bootif (also
tried eth0,
etc) through the kernel options in the Profile. Nothing seems to be working.
Where can I look next?
Possibly it's because you have a typo in your MAC address. Are you using the %pre
network configuration snippet? If you've verified that's working ok, you can also
try ksdevice=MAC.
Beyond that, what version of cobbler are you using, along with the SYSLINUX version and
the version of the OS you're installing. Could be you're using an older pxelinux,
or maybe the hardware you're deploying on has NIC hardware newer than the OS
recognizes? Admittedly, that's a long shot and happens more often with SCSI
controllers (we ran into that issue with RHEL 4 on some newer Dell 11g servers despite the
fact that it worked fine on early revisions of the same Dell gen).
