Here's two cases, one > which works (manual), one which doesn't (automatic). Both are kickstarts. I know it should work, I use a %pre script to do some dynamic partition sizes that I then %include. I would try changing your %pre to the following to see if you can get any error message. %pre # Spawn a sub-shell so we can log everything ( set -x echo "begin raid flash" mkdir /mnt/cd echo "mounting cd to /mnt/cd" mount /tmp/cdrom /mnt/cd echo "making dir /dev/cciss" mkdir /dev/cciss echo "mknodding /dev/cciss/c*d0" mknod /dev/cciss/c0d0 b 104 0 echo "setting password for cpqacufe" echo -n -e "password\npassword\n"|cpqacuxe echo "importing array config" cpqacuxe -i /mnt/cd/custom/files/seahawk.array ) >> /tmp/pre.log 2>&1 Let me know if you get it working, I have been looking to do the same thing with cpqacuxe.
