Hi Ray,
I had exactly the same problem, but the following two kickstart options
helped me out:
#Any invalid partition tables found on disks are initialized.
#This will destroy all of the contents of disks with invalid partition
tables
zerombr yes
#Erase all partitions
clearpart --all

Hi all, trying to do a kickstart install onto a system which already
has Windows XP on it. One drive with three 80GB partitions. The
first two is NTFS and the last 80GB partition is unused.
The installer starts up fine, but as soon as I hit 'next' on the first
page to where the disk layout review page should be I get the following
error:
Could not allocate requested partitions:
Unsatisfied partition request
New Part request -- mountpoint: None uniqueID: 6

Press 'OK' to reboot your system
I've tried combinations of autopart, zerombr and bootloader in my KS
file to no avail. I don't want to use clearpart as it'll wipe out my
Windows partitions.
If I just do a regular non-KS install it doesn't hang here and I can
set up my partitions preserving my Windows ones.
Here is the relevant portion of the KS file I'm using:
install
nfs --server=10.49.6.46 --dir=/install/RHEL4/es/update4
interactive
lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
xconfig --startxonboot --resolution=800x600 --depth 16 --defaultdesktop=GNOME
%include /tmp/network.ks
rootpw --iscrypted $1$SXuw6/KM$xmV2mmVR3g2HNBmENHuSR.
firewall --disabled
selinux --disabled
firstboot --disable
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
timezone America/Los_Angeles
bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet"
Any suggestions?
Ray
