A very strange error in a once functional kickstart file.
I get a pretty long error message, last few lines being -
SystemError: pvcreate failed for <fsset PartitionDevice instance at

I am attaching my kickstart file. If on this kickstart I comment out the
line "text" then the installation is performed in graphical mode and it
all works fine. But strange issue is I have done the installation using
this kickstart and the only change I have been doing is in the %post
section which should not effect the installation at least.

I have seen the same problem on HP ProLiant DL580 G2 systems.

System has been put in production so I can't help debug.
