Hi Guys,
I do have a problem with setting up Kickstart installation of the following setup (as in Subject): Kickstart/nfs/dhcp/tftp .
It was working few times and then it stopped at some point and I was trying everything possible that I am aware of to make it live again.
Installation is getting stuck on:

I would bet that it may be something to do with Anaconda (that is the stage directly before running it). I was triple checking kickstart cfg file and it does not seem to have any wrong directives: (please find below:

I am not sure what can cause Kickstart keep getting stuck on this error message.
Removing kikstart.cfg file from PXE config also doesn`t seem to make any difference which could be a hint.
Any input on the above would be most appreciated.
Cheers. S.
