I found the error. I don't know, but I assume I screwed up the netmask (which would do it). I will try to create another config file and see if that produces a fubar-ed netmask, in the vain hope that I didn't mess it up. :-) Thanks for the direction and enjoy the class!

Did you take a look through the file it produced to see if there were any suspect lines in there? Otherwise, you might consider attaching the text of the ks.cfg file and someone else might notice something that you missed. I know it's not an error with kickstart in general, since my instructor says he uses kickstart to automatically configure "pre-broken" redhat installs for the students to fix during the test.
