Thanks for the response, Michael. I learned that it is possible to have two swap lines in the partitioning scheme. I have the following lines in my ks.cfg: part swap --size 2000 part swap --size 2000 The kernel panic was caused by some things I do in the post section. |---------+-------------------------------> | | Michael Blandford | | | <mlblandf@xxxxxxxxxx| | | intel.com> | | | Sent by: | | | kickstart-list-admin| | | @redhat.com | | | No Phone Info | | | Available | | | | | | 11/26/2003 11:16 AM | | | Please respond to | | | kickstart-list | | | | |---------+-------------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx | | cc: | | Subject: Re: Two Swap Partitions | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Rebecca.R.Hepper@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >I am working with RedHat 7.1.

It is redhat 7.1 but is using the 7.2 installer. part / --size 400 --grow --maxsize 500 part /usr --size 2500 part /tmp --size 512 --grow --maxsize 1024 part /var --size 500 part raid.01 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sda part raid.02 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdb raid /scratch --level 0 --device md0 raid.01 raid.02 part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sda part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sda part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sda part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sda part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sda part swap --size 2047 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 1850 --ondisk sda _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
