Thanks for your help. My ks.cfg file includes: ########################################################## #System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr # This line removes any existing linux partitions clearpart --linux ########################################################## The working system has a small VFAT hda1 partition, and the failing system has a small NTFS hda1 partition. I want the kickstart to wipe out any previous linux installs but keep the non-linux partition. This is unchanged from what worked on both systems in RH9. -- Peter Fales Lucent Technologies, Room 1C-436 N9IYJ 2000 N Naperville Rd PO Box 3033 internet: psfales@xxxxxxxxxx Naperville, IL 60566-7033 work: (630) 979-8031 On Thu, Aug 12, 2004 at 07:54:47PM +0530, johnpaul wrote: > hi > > in the kickstart file what information have you gave about the boot loader > > regards > john paul > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peter Fales" <psfales@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Discussion list about Kickstart" <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 7:40 PM > Subject: Kickstart hang at "Installing Bootloader" > > > > We've been using the RedHat 9 kickstart for a while.
