Hm, perhaps I missed something but I thought this should work. Trying kickstart on 7.2 fails with a dialog saying: Could not allocate requested partitions: Partitioning failed: could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. Going into the install, /dev/hda has no partitions defined, according to fdisk -l at the installer shell. Any ideas?
