How are you booting an ISO file from another computer? Is this a network kickstart install, where the iso image is located on an NFS or CIFS server? Whatever it is, can you boot it again without invoking kickstart? If you can, open up a command line window and do "fdisk -l", which should list the disks the system sees. Verify the devices are the ones you think they are. Remember that when you're booting F24 from the hard disk, you are absolutely making /dev/sda the first hard drive. When booting from the network, a CD/DVD or a bootp server, that may NOT be the case and your drive letters may be different, in which the limits in your "ignoredisk" line would prevent finding the second drive. > In the setup above it shows raid.<number> (ie. raid.6). Do you know what the > number represents? Can it be changed from one install to the next? The "raid" bit of the label simply means they're to be used in a software RAID. I have no idea why they're numbered in that manner rather than sequentially. Right below those "part" definitions, you see "raid" definitions where those labels are normally used. In your case, raid / --device=root --fstype=ext4 --level=raid1 --useexisting tells the system to use the first two devices in the "part" section (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) as a RAID1, format it as ext4 and mount it at "/". Since no partitions are specified, it uses the first two in the "part" section. In reality, that line with all the bits specified would be: raid / --device=root --fstype=ext4 --level=raid1 --useexisting raid.6 raid.27 If the partitions to use weren't sequential (e.g. you wanted to use the first and third partitions), you'd need to specify them explicitly at the end of the line: raid / --device=root --fstype=ext4 --level=raid1 --useexisting raid.6 raid.14 You should be able to rename the labels in your ks.cfg if you wish, but again if your RAID definition doesn't use sequential partitions, make sure you specify them appropriately. The labels have no significance outside of Anaconda/kickstart as far as I know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Charter Member of the International Sarcasm Society - - "Yeah, like we need YOUR support!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
