I have a weird issue with the installer.
I have a kickstart file that does not define the partition layout.
Anaconda should automatically prompt the user for the disk layout.
I have a network install that does work this way.
The same distro tree is copied from the network install and split into
three CDs, genhdlist, comps rebuilt, etc...
However, using the CD to install I get a error: "could not allocated
requested partitions:"
Anaconda log:
Log for CD local install:
moving (1) to step partitionobjinit
moving (1) to step autopartitionexecute
Log for NFS install:
moving (1) to step partitionmethod
Any suggestions?
Maybe look at the 'clearpart' kickstart option too (if you haven't already!)

It could be that there are existing partitions, or an un-initialized
disk that is spooking out anaconda and it doesn't know what to do next.
