Just an FYI.  As one last resort, I did a system erase with
smartstart, then re-configured the arrays, re-install
smartstart utils, ran my ks install again, and it all works now.  I
must have really messed something up.
anyway, thanks for all of the help.

	I have not been able to get grub to work on this system.  I have
tried manually installing RedHat 7.3 and choosing grub instead of
lilo.  After the system is booted, the kernel loads, but then it is
unable to pass control to init.  I get a message saying it could not
mount the ext3 file system and then it cannot find /sbin/init.  From
what I can tell, grub is installed and configured correctly.

	Is there any specific reason you need to use LILO? I have run into a
similar issue, and my solution with GRUB was to run the following in
the post

	install: 

	"perl -pi -e 's/default=.*/default=0/g' /boot/grub/grub.conf" 

	Good luck

	I am working on automating a RedHat 7.3 setup on a couple of DL380
servers. I have built a custom kernel and made an rpm package from
the original src rpm for the generic kernel. After installing the
base os, I copy over some additional rpm files in the %post section
of the script. I then install the rpm packages. After the rpm's are
done, I copy over a pre-made lilo.conf file for the new kernel, the
last command I run from kickstart is /sbin/lilo -v. From watching the
install, everything works fine, even the lilo command works without
any errors. After server is rebooted, it still boots to the old
kernel. If I log into the server and run lilo again and reboot, it
boots to the new kernel. Anything I am missing here?

	Here are the messages I get. This one is what I see when watching
the kickstart install via the virtual terminal: 

	Message when lilo is run at the end of 
	kickstart.

	Now, after kickstart, the boot menu only 
	shows linux and it still points to old kernel. 
	After reboot, I run lilo again. Here is the output.

	After this, when I reboot, I see both linux and linux-old as an
