    Could be any number of things. Basically, it's telling you anaconda
    can't renew the dhcp lease. Examples of things that might cause it:

    - Listing the wrong interface in ks.cfg (try eth1, if you have 2 nics)
    - portfast being disabled on your switch (causes STP delays past the
    anaconda threshold)
    - dhcpd not running on dhcpd/pxe server (unlikely if you already
    grabbed the initrd)
    - not using the correct driver (what is your nic?)
    - not having the correct driver on your ramdisk (try initrd-everything)

    Just a few of the things that have bitten me over the years in our
    pxe/kickstart/nfs build environment.
