The sysadmin guide at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s 1-kickstart2-options.html shows that where you had: raid /s01 --fstype ext3 --level 1 --device md6 raid.11 raid.12 you want: raid /s01 --fstype ext3 --level=1 --device=md6 raid.11 raid.12 -- Regards, Steve IT Support - UNIX/Linux Cadence Design Systems Bagshot Road Bracknell BERKSHIRE RG12 0PH UK
