Last night I installed Red Hat 7.2 on a Compaq Proliant with an Integrated Smart Array Controller. The installation was very smoothe. I renamed anaconda-ks.cfg to ks.cfg and put it on a vfat floppy. I also added some configuration stuff to the ks.cfg post section and uncommented all the partitioning instructions. When I attempted to re-install via kickstart I got an error that no installation method was specified. SO I added the line 'cdrom' to ks.cfg and got past that problem only to run into the error: "No Drives Found: An error occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem." My hardware is working just fine and every time I get this error a warm boot of the original installation works fine. I have included the relevant section of ks.cg below. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I would like to give Kickstart to my friend so he can rebuild the machine if necessary.
