I got it to
work!! My entire
kickstart setup was just fine, but something strange has happened with my hard
drive. I use a
utility called “badblocks”, that can write a stream of zeros and ones to the
hard drive, bit by bit, overwriting any MBR, partitions and filesystems, at a
very low level. After doing this,
Kickstart can partition and do everything as it’s supposed to. Could my HD be going bad? Could ks have a
bug that ignores: zerombr yes clearpart
all part /boot
--fstype ext3 --size 30 part /
--fstype ext3 --size 3256 part swap --size 512 Perhaps
there is another command I can give kickstart that will emulate
badblocks?? (wishful thinking I suppose) -----Original
Message----- 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,
-----Original Message----- What happens if you remove the
partitioning info? Forrest yup. Same results when I add: -----Original Message----- strange error: Thanks, _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ |
