If so, can you show us > your the system config and %pre sections of your ks.cfg file? below is my ks.cfg, i've try to do as in your mail but i can't manage to make it work. http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/kickstart-list/msg01127.html but i wonder how i could specify which mount point is for /dev/ida/c0d0p1 ? i also don't have specified "part <mntpoint> --size <size>" because i've supposed that kickstart will try to do another fdisk, isn't it? well actually the kickstart installation stop after an output "loading module cpqarray" and then print "can not open device c0d0". if i switch to the console, the direcory /dev/ida and the device c0d0 have been created, but if i do "fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0" i get the same error "can not open device c0d0". if i do "lsmod" no cpqarray module have been loaded actually i don't have tried to change the kernel src.rpm as say daniel wittenberg the file ks.cfg: auth --enablemd5 --useshadow cdrom keyboard us lang en_US lilo --location mbr mouse genericps/2 rootpw mypassword timezone MET %packages @ Base %pre mkdir /dev/ida mknod /dev/ida/c0d0 b 72 0 chmod 660 /dev/ida/c0d0 echo | fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 <<EOF n p 1 +256M t 1 82 n p 2 w EOF %post
