If --onprimary fails, use a %pre section, and use fdisk with a <<EOF style document to create that first partition. I'm having to do this on IA-64 at present to handle the EFI partition. I'd entered a bug report about the --asprimary, but haven't looked at it's status in a long time, it may be fixed by now. %pre # I know I've already created an EFI partition before starting, I just need to change # the type. fdisk could do all the work here... # Change the EFI partition from type 0xef to type 0x6 mknod /dev/sda mknod /dev/sda1 fdisk /dev/sda << EOF t 1 6 w EOF # Format the EFI partition mkdosfs /dev/sda1 # End of %pre Then I have: zerombr yes clearpart --linux part /boot/efi --size 100 --ondisk sda --type 6 --onpart sda1 --noformat Thanks, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Katz [mailto:katzj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 1:40 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: --asprimary On Thursday, November 30 2000, Seth Vidal said: > I'm trying to do a kickstart so it allocates 2gig to a windows partition > as hda1. > > so I have this in my ks.cfg > part /mnt/win --size 2000 --asprimary 1 --type=6 > part / --size 200 > part /mnt/arch --size 6000 --grow > part swap --size 64 > > if I have any number after --asprimary it errors out with: > > ValueError: partition command requires one anonymous argument.
