I am having great difficulty trying to load FC7 via kickstart on a new
server. Here is the process I have followed:
1) Loaded FC7 on the server via Live-CD with no issues.
2) Copied initrd.img from server to my DHCP/tftp kickstart server
along with vmlinuz
3) Created new ks.cfg for this server based on anaconda.cfg from
/root on server
4) Booted the server.
The results:
1) I can see my kernel and init.img files downloaded to the new server.
2) Vast amounts of information displayed on console ending with the
following:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
grow_buffers: requested out-of-ranger block BIGNUMBERHERE for
device ram0
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=ram0, iso_blknum=17 block=...
No filesystem could mount root, tried: iso9660
kernel panic ...
I have tried loading additional modules into initrd.img but no
joy. Any and all thoughts are greatly appreciated!

For PXE loads you need to use the images from images/pxeboot on the
CD/DVD image.
You also need to specify some kernel parameters:
From: http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html
8) Now create the default pxelinux configuration inside the new file
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default:
prompt 1
default linux
timeout 100
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216
Good Luck!
