Hi, Here's my problem: I have to build (and maintain) a linux cluster. At the moment I'm working on a kickstart file for the cluster nodes. All nodes are identical. Because the nodes don't have a floppy or a cdrom, but they are pre-installed with a linux version, I opted to create a small MINIX partition in the beginning of the disk that holds a patched version of the redhat boot disk ( added support for my network card ). I.e. it holds vmlinuz and initrd. Adding a lilo entry that runs this vmlinuz with the ks option makes for a pretty easy way to install/reinstall/upgrade the machines. I had to use Minix, 'cause clearpart --linux destroys all other linux partitions. BUT, and here is the catch: in %post I try to update lilo.conf so it finds the bootdisk again. Unfortunately the bootdisk doesn't support Minix, so running 'lilo' doesn't find/install the kickstart lilo entry. I have not been able to find a minix.o module for the BOOT kernel to put in the initrd file, and I would rather not recompile the boot kernel, is there another option? Perhaps there is a way to tell kickstart to leave a certain partition in peace, so I can change it to ext2. Thanks in advance, Wim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
