I am trying to find some information regarding how
ignoredisk works and to see if it’s use has changed since RHEL5. In
RHEL 6/anaconda 13.21.149 when I am installing with USB media and I use ignoredisk
--disk=<list of disks which includes the USB drive> (like ignoredisk
--disk=sda,sdc )my install fails with the message (from storage/__init__.py in
my version of anaconda): "The installation
source given by device [‘LABEL=IPMDISK'] could not be found". It appears that in RHEL 6 when anaconda is
looking for installation media, it will ignore the drives in this list. I
have used this option exactly the same way in RHEL 5 and it did not have this
issue. The documentation I have found for ignoredisk only
states that it ignores these devices “when partitioning, formatting and clearing”
which doesn’t appear to have changed for RHEL6. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#ignoredisk
states: ignoredisk Controls anaconda's access to
disks attached to the system. Only one of the following two options may be
used. ignoredisk
--drives=[disk1,disk2,...] Specifies those disks that
anaconda should not touch when partitioning, formatting, and clearing. ignoredisk
--only-use=[disk1,disk2,...] Specifies the opposite - only
disks listed here will be used during installation. ignoredisk --interactive Allow the user manually
navigate the advanced storage screen. I have tried both options listed above, using the
--drives option to ignore disks I don’t want to install onto, or with the
--only-use, with the same results. I have searched the web looking for anything regarding
this but have only found this one link: http://grokbase.com/t/centos/centos/117x0rppsg/kickstart-and-centos-6-episode-2 Is this expected behavior for ignoredisk now? Am I
missing something? Thanks. Art
