Hello everyone, I am using kickstart (network install) on a Compaq machine. What I'd like to do is create and populate the Compaq System Partition(CSP) aka Compaq Diagnostic partition using kickstart. In the KS file, the 1st step ie create the partition is working fine I just have an entry in the kickstart file like this. part /compaq --fstype vfat --size=40 --start=1 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 --asprimary in the post inslall section I set the partition type (0x12) to Compaq Diagnostic for partition (p3) using /sbin/fdisk The next step is to populate the partition with all diagnostic utility aka Configuration System Utility. When I do a straight linux copy from a linux partition onto the system partition (vfat) I get a device full although I know that I have plenty of space left on the device. I don't know why ? The other problem I get is happening when I boot the m/c using the SCU floppy disk the vfat partition is recognised but the SCU stiil ask to create a system partition ??? if anyone knows why then please explain that to me. What I don't want is (1) Create a CSP and populate it using SmartStart CD or disk floppy ? Any infos or pointers will be appreaciated. Best Regards.
