Hi list:
I found this error message when i try to use kickstart configuration on
a Dell PowerEdge 1550, with a Perc 3/DC as disk controller, the operative
system is RedHat Linux 7.3:
----------
Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions.
----------
The error happens (i guess) in the partitioning section, the network part
works fine (i can connect to the ftp server) , here is my ks.cfg file:

What is wrong in my ks.cfg file? ... i used a similar file while installing
RedHat 7.1 and everything worked great.
Thanks in advance for your help, any tip is welcome !!!
