I am trying to install via kickstart a modified advanced server
installation.
Its really only modifed in three ways:
- it has been pared down to only the essential RPM's (all dependencies
match).
- the loader program of anaconda has been patched with the patch at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39743
to allow it to support kickstart files on the CDROM.
- pared down comps file to match the paring down of the RPM's on the
install, along with the regenerated hdlist file.
Here is the problem. It starts running the kickstart config just fine,
until it comes back
with an error saying that there is not enough space on the the / partition.
It says
it needs 661 Meg.
Also when I flip to the Ctrl-Alt-F3 screen every time a module was loaded
the following
error occurs:
* going to insmod ext3.o (path is NULL)
ndrationot found does not have recognisable name, the name
must contain one of rationot found.
This error repeated verbatim save for the different module name for every
module that
annaconda attempts to load.
I have seen root filesystem space error before:
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/private/kickstart-list/2002-May/002446.html
but it turned out I was using a 7.2 cdboot image with a 7.3 base
distribution. This time this is
not the case. Though I am probably using simular kickstart. I have
listed the kickstart file
less the %post section at the end this email.
Any help would be most appreicated...james
P.S. Use RH 8.0 is not an option (though I sure wish it was).
