it expects a device alias... the path you put below is the physical device... you want the device alias that linux (redhat) uses: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb/, /dev/sdb for scsi devices /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, etc... for ide... if you want a particular partition on a particular disk (say, /var on your second scsi drive), it would be: part /var --fstype ... --size ... --ondisk sdb -----Original Message----- From: Heinzmann, Robert [mailto:Heinzmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 2:18 AM To: 'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: --ondisk Parameter on Compaq Smart Array 2 Hello, What exactly does the --ondisk parameter expect as a value ? Is it the path to the device in /dev/ ? We have compaq machines here and the built in drives are connected to a Smart Array controller. The path to the devices is /dev/ida/c<X>d<Y>p<Z> where X = Controller Y = Device P = LUN. I tried to make a kickstart ks.cfg as attached but the installation routine gives me the following error message : ... ValueError: partition command requires one anonymouse argument I think the --ondisk parameter is the problem.
