I have noticed my %post section ignored once as well-- the only time it
happened was when I used a Windows box to edit the ks file. I think
editing the file in Windows adds the extra CR/LF. Did you edit the file
in Windows?

Greetings,
I am doing a Kickstart install of RH 7.3 from /dev/hdc2, a partition
which holds the .iso images in addition to other files.
My ks.cfg file is 99% generated by Anaconda following a manual install.
This is an ext2 partition, per the kickstart instructions on the RH
website.
I have 2 issues...
1. I want the install program to create the /redhat directory and map
to it on /dev/hdc2.
But, if I include the line "part /redhat --fstype ext2 --onpart=hdc2
--noformat", the install crashes with msg: "...can't find partition
hdc2, the partition does not exist."
Is there any workaround for this?
2. My %post commands are ignored. Right now, I'd settle for the mkdir,
but I have a lot more I'd like it to do.
What's going on? Can I send errors to a log file for diagonosis? I've
tried this with and without the --nochroot, with and without specifying
paths.
Here's my ks.cfg file:
install
harddrive --partition hdc2 --dir /
lang en_US
langsupport en_US
keyboard us
mouse genericps/2 --device psaux
skipx
network --device eth0 [snip]
rootpw --iscrypted [snip]
firewall --medium
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
timezone America/Chicago
bootloader
part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart=hda1
part / --fstype ext3 --onpart=hda2
part swap --size=375 --onpart=hdc1
reboot
