SW RAID5 & Kickstart on RH 7.2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
I've updated my RH72 distro with all of the latest updates and have made it
available via NFS for a kickstart install.
I'm using the following ks.cfg:

###
install
auth --enablemd5 --enableshadow
bootloader --append console=ttyS0,9600 --append console=ttyv0
firewall --disabled
network --bootproto dhcp
nfs --server 10.60.1.8 --dir /usr/local/redhat/7.2/custom
keyboard us
lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US en_US
mouse genericps/2 --device psaux --emulthree
skipx
text
timezone US/Central
rootpw --iscrypted 
clearpart --all
part swap --size=512 --ondisk=sda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=32 --ondisk=sda
part /var --fstype ext3 --size=512 --ondisk=sda
part /tmp --fstype ext3 --size=512 --ondisk=sda
part / --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
part raid.01 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb
part raid.02 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdc
part raid.03 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdd
raid /usr/local --fstype ext3 --level=RAID5 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03

Now, I've used this config before to sucessfully install RH 71 and 72, but
for some reason, when I do a floppy based NFS install or a CDROM based
install, when it gets to creating the md0 RAID device, I get 
mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero.  Invalid partition specified, or
        partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
        a modified partition being busy and in use.  You may need to reboot
        to re-read your partition table.

If I install via the original CDs, all works well.  I look at the
anaconda-ks.cfg generated by a generic CD install with the same config, and
the configs are damn near identical (only real difference being the raid
partition ids).  

Any ideas?  Could it be from updating with the latest rpm updates? We're not
using any nonstandard packages.
