Figured it out!
It appears that the upgrade changed some of both of the network_config snippets and did
not overwrite (I only saw one renamed to .rpmnew initially)... once I took another look I
found another, copied that one over and rebooted and now it is working fine.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys!

Hi Owen -
Thanks for the response. The append line is only 160 characters.. I am blanking some of
this out but this is what that specific pxe cfg looks like, is there anything wrong with
it?
default linux
prompt 0
timeout 1
label linux
kernel /images/CentOS6-x86_64/vmlinuz
ipappend 2
append initrd=/images/CentOS6-x86_64/initrd.img ksdevice=bootif lang= kssendmac
text ks=http://172.19.34.200/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/server15.domain.local

Have you verified your actual PXE cfg? If the append line is >255 characters, the
ipappend will fall off the end.

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).
