I thank you all for the comments, solutions and suggestions.
as of yesterday,  I was able to install  RHEL5.5 via kickstart using  linux ks=http://192.168xxx.xxx/redhat/ks.cfg  dhcptimeout=500

although it still asks me as to which ethernet to use, (eth0..eth5). it continues afterwards.  I tried specifying ksdevice=eth0 and noipv6  but the installation wont proceed and keeps on coming back to the ipv4 and ipv6 selections.
I will try all the suggestions & options mentioned here.

thanks,
Sirjune

Perhaps - I didn't read the Dell solution as specifying MAC addresses is sufficient and already available, at least for my requirements (Ethernet interfaces)

All the best
