I’m trying to autoinstall a DELL 9030 desktop with CentOS7 using PXE and Kikstart. I fall in a strange problem (I have several other laptop or desktop using this install process without any problem, kernel and initrd are from a CentOS 7.4 iso)

– PXE boot start and the desktop load the kernel and the inirtd file

– the kernel is booted and at this time the led of the network switch goes down for the port used by the desktop.

– then I have a message “no carrier detected on interface em1”

– followed by ” IPv6 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGED): em1: link become ready
(and of course the led goes back to green on the switch)

But I have no IPV6 network setup!

How can I force to IPV4 setup to load the kikstart file ?

I’ve tried do switch from legacy boot to UEFI boot (my local server setup can answer requests for the two options), update the BIOS of the desktop…

Any help is welcome
