VMware Kickstart worked as well.

Thanks much for all your help.

Kyle.
You hit the nail on the head on this issue.   I really appreciate your help.

I got this fixed on the Kickstart install.
I'll try the VMware Kickstart install and send an update.

Thanks much

Thanks Kyle.
I'll try that.
I have ttyS0 as the console argument like so:

label 5 
  kernel ENTLINUX32_U6/vmlinuz
  append nofb
ks=http://171.67.144.10/ENTLINUX32_U6/Enterprise/ks_el32_u6_asia-base-x-app.
cfg initrd=ENTLINUX32_U
6/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10000 lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216
ksdevice=eth0 console=ttyS0,9600 ipappend 1

If the kickstart is completing, then "hangs" is not the right word to use. I
think you're issue is caused by a serial console, but not the one you
disabled
in the BIOS. The output of the kernel and init is going to the serial
console
instead of the monitor you've got plugged in. Check your kernel boot
parameters
for something like "console=tty0,ttyS0" and remove it (tty0 is the default).
