Yes, I have a PXE & DHCP server serving out the netboot kernel and initrd.gz file, as copied from the mirrors in ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/.

I created a stripped down kickstart file to demonstrate, and will attach the kickstart config file and a resulting syslog. Yes, it's the network configuration step that's failing.

The commented-out %pre section in the kickstart file is how I worked around it as previously mentioned.

The pxe server is using the following to serve out the boot images:

label ubuntu-minimal
        menu label ^Ubuntu Minimal
        ipappend 2
        kernel ubuntu-installer-11.10/amd64/linux
        append initrd=ubuntu-installer-11.10/amd64/initrd.gz DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 ks=http://172.18.0.11/ks/ubuntu-minimal.cfg console=ttyS1,115200n8
