I'm not sure where you got this command line; but it looks strange; are
you using rh7.3?
here's the kickstart.py clearpart snippet from rh7.3's anaconda:
def doClearPart(self, id, args):
type = CLEARPART_TYPE_NONE
drives = None
initAll = 0
(args, extra) = isys.getopt(args, '', [ 'linux', 'all', 'drives=',
'initlabel'])
for n in args:
(str, arg) = n
if str == '--linux':
type = CLEARPART_TYPE_LINUX
elif str == '--all':
type = CLEARPART_TYPE_ALL
elif str == '--drives':
drives = string.split(arg, ',')
elif str == '--initlabel':
initAll = 1
self.setClearParts(id, type, drives, initAll = initAll)

clearpart --linux --drives=sda
^^^ hda in your case
works for me with rh7.3 ks.
