RHEL5 RIS deployment (text mode) help please!!


hii friends, im currently using a RHEL5 RIS server in my Lab to deploy rhel5 for all my systems. everything has been configured and installation works fine, but i am not able to run the installation in text interface mode. when i type "linux text", i get an error saying invalid kernel parameter. i'll paste my /etc/dhcpd.conf file here. please have a look and let me know what changes i should be making in order for my text interface installation to be working.


here's what the dhcpd.conf looks like:


ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;


#option domain-name-servers 145.253.2.75, 193.174.32.18;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.3;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 604800;

authoritative;
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
next-server 192.168.1.3;
filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
}

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.49;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;




}


please do let me know if you need further inputs.
thank you.
