According to Michael, you should be able to use --static-interface=eth0
to solve this problem.
I finally got around to testing this, so:
koan --server=admin --virt --system=epi1dev2 --static-interface=eth0
The kickstart halts with "Error downloading kickstart file".
I have gone back to the workaround, which is to build systems one at a
time, and keep the dhcp lease times short.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
