This is exactly what driving me nuts.
When I comment out the partition info, then anaconda pauses asks me to run the partitioning utility, and then everything installs exactly how I want it. The partitioning info is the exact same as I've always had it. It worked perfectly when I was using NFS to install. But now it's coming from a CDROM. The hard drive it the same as before. This is starting to sound like a bug.
However, I cannot believe that I am doing anything strange that hasn't been done before.
I've wasted too much time searching the archives and I've found nothing.
Anybody have nay ideas?
thanks,
Ryan

What happens if you remove the partitioning info?
Forrest
yup. Same results when I add:
zerombr yes
It's like there are no IDE drivers being loaded. On <alt>+f4 I see a
message: "unable to identify CDROM format"

I switched to the boot.img floppy to put my ks.cfg on, and now I'm getting a
strange error:
Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions.
Press OK to reboot your system.
at the console (alt+F2), I try 'fdisk /dev/had' with the error "unable to
open /dev/hda" .
Is this a bug? Does this kernel not have IDE block devices compiled in?
Anybody know the work around?
## A sample from my ks.cfg file: This worked fine with the bootnet.img
disk
bootloader --location=mbr
install
cdrom
clearpart all
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 30
part / --fstype ext3 --size 3256
part swap --size 512
Thanks,

Did you try the zerombr yes option?
