Hi, I ran into the same problem not long ago. I'd got no idea how to work around until someone in this mailing list pointed my attention to the definition of the "swap". He asked : Why do you want to make a raid partition for temporary data in the swap area ?? So I defined two independent swap spaces, one on each disk and it worked. See my disk configuration section : # /boot part raid.1 --size=128 --ondisk=sda part raid.11 --size=128 --ondisk=sdb # / part raid.2 --size=2048 --ondisk=sda part raid.12 --size=2048 --ondisk=sdb # /home part raid.3 --size=2048 --ondisk=sda part raid.13 --size=2048 --ondisk=sdb # /tmp part raid.4 --size=1024 --ondisk=sda part raid.14 --size=1024 --ondisk=sdb # /usr (rest of disk volume) part raid.5 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda part raid.15 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb # swap part swap --size=512 --ondisk=sda part swap --size=512 --ondisk=sdb # RAID 1 disk assignment raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md0 raid.1 raid.11 raid / --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md1 raid.2 raid.12 raid /home --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md3 raid.3 raid.13 raid /tmp --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md4 raid.4 raid.14 raid /usr --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md5 raid.5 raid.15 Hope I could help Dirk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Dirk Albert Siemens AG, PG L 621, Germany * Tel.: +49 - 9131 - 18 82206 (Erlangen) * Tel.: +49 - 721 - 595 2381 (Karlsruhe) * mailto:dirk.albert@xxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jay McCanta [mailto:mccantaj@xxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Freitag, 15.

I have a workaround, but before I report this as a bug, can someone verify that it is not? Here is the disk configuration section. clearpart --all part raid.1 --size 46 --ondisk hda part raid.2 --size 46 --ondisk hdb part raid.3 --size 512 --ondisk hda part raid.4 --size 512 --ondisk hdb part raid.5 --size 1 --grow --ondisk hda part raid.6 --size 1 --grow --ondisk hdb raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md0 raid.2 raid.1 raid / --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md2 raid.5 raid.6 raid swap --fstype swap --level 1 --device md1 raid.3 raid.4 I get the following error messages (with dump info included here). If I comment out the "raid swap" line, kickstart works flawlessly.
