Hey, Dan and Eric, I submitted that bug. It was accidentally closed, and then was reopend yesterday when I threw a fit <grin> Could you two go to bugzilla and add your comments?? --onprimary AFAICT IS in Anaconda, and apparently works fine IF you do a manual install, and specify that a certain partition, i.e. /boot, be forced to be a primary, in disk druid. However, the problem arrises when specifying --onprimary in a kickstart script. My personal belief is that this is something that was left out of the kickstart portion of anaconda, (maybe something called by kickstart.py) but not in the manual portion. Oh well... please tho, add your comments to my bug so we can get this problem worked out. here it is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55469 I noticed another bug that complained about something else, BUT did mention using --asprimary. IIRC --asprimary will force it to create the specified partition as a primary partition, whereas --onprimary will force it to be a particular primary partition. >From what I read in that bug, --asprimary works fine. I havent tested it myself, so I dont know for sure... but please, add to bug 55469 and lets try to get this fixed. cheers On 1 Nov 2001, Eric Sandeen wrote: > Hi Dan - > > --onprimary is nowhere to be found in this version of anaconda... > > I was going to submit a bug, but it's already in bugzilla as of 10/31. > > -Eric > > On Thu, 2001-11-01 at 12:25, Schuster, Dan wrote: > > > > Has any one used the --onprimary option for kickstarting RH7.2 system. > > Anaconda complains and says it doesn't recognize the option and then the > > install fails.
