Have you installed lvm on these boxes before? On the HP DL servers, with CCISS controllers, I've noticed a failure on them if there were existing lvm partitions unless you clear the partition table with --initlabel: clearpart --all --initlabel Alternatively, you can delete and re-create the partitions in the CCISS controller BIOS.

When the system comes up after the install it is not able to mount the LVMs. A little investigation tells that the directory /dev/vg_root does not exists. Following is my kickstart file, perhaps something obviously wrong there. System is DL585 G2. <kickstart> install url --url http://our.management-server.net/rhel4/ lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 keyboard uk mouse none text skipx zerombr yes # This static address does not work at the moment as install method is # kickstart over http, so system need to have an address network --device eth0 --bootproto=static --ip 192.168.1.55 --netmask 255.255.0.0 --gateway 192.168.1.254 --nameserver 192.168.1.10,192.168.1.11 --hostname noddy03 network --device eth1 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.1.56 --netmask 255.255.0.0 --gateway 192.168.1.254 --nameserver 192.168.1.10,192.168.1.11 --hostname noddy03 rootpw --iscrypted $1dsjhdhs$F/uKYN6URk. #firewall --disabled firewall --enabled --ssh --http #selinux --permissive selinux --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=MYDOMAIN.NET --krb5kdc=mswinadc01.mydomain.net:88,mswinadc02.mydomain.net:88 --krb5adminserver=mswinadc01.bds.tv:749 timezone --utc Europe/London bootloader --location=mbr clearpart --all --initlabel # The following is the partition information part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=2000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 --asprimary part / --fstype ext3 --size=70000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 --asprimary part swap --size=8000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 --asprimary part swap --size=8000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 part swap --size=8000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 part swap --size=8000 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 part pv.01 --noformat --size=100 --grow --ondisk=cciss/c0d0 volgroup vg_root pv.01 logvol /usr/local --fstype ext3 --name=lv_usr_local --vgname=vg_root --size=10000 logvol /opt --name=lv_opt --vgname=vg_root --size=10000 logvol /apps --name=lv_apps --vgname=vg_root --size=10000 logvol /var --name=lv_var --vgname=vg_root --size=10000 logvol /var/www --name=lv_www --vgname=vg_root --size=20000 logvol /home --name=lv_home --vgname=vg_root --size=20000 logvol /tmp --name=lv_tmp --vgname=vg_root --size=10000 %packages kernel-smp # mail-server postfix -sendmail -dovecot -sendmail-cf -spamassassin # smb-server samba samba-client -system-config-samba # mysql mysql-server mysql # web-server httpd mod_authz_ldap mod_ssl php php-mysql # editors emacs joe vim-minimal # system-tools zsh sysstat screen openldap-clients nmap open net-snmp-utils mc iptraf ethereal ckermit # development-tools binutils rcs subversion %post rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY /usr/sbin/useradd -G wheel -c "Administrator" -d /home/admin -s /bin/bash admin </kickstart> Regards. -- Ajitabh Pandey| Linux/Solaris Systems Administrator bds - Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd 58 Uxbridge Road | London W5 2ST T: +44 (0)20 8280 2036 E: Ajitabh.Pandey@xxxxxx http://www.bds.tv Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd is a subsidiary of Red Bee Media Group This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
