Title: Anaconda 11.1.2.36

I believe you will run into this when the %pre has a bash 
error in it somewhere.  Either comment out the entire %pre (except for the 
sleep) or run it through kickstart-validator to see what it 
reports.

Hi 

Yep, tried that, It fails with "/tmp/partition.cfg not 
found".  The sleep at the top of the %pre script is not executed.  
Does the partition need to be provided prior to the %pre script 
nowdays?

  I'm using %include in my command section just fine.  
  If you post your scripting, we can look for obvious errors, but the best thing 
  to do would be to simply put:

  sleep 999999999

  in your %pre and then open a terminal (alt-f2) and walk 
  through the pre manually to see where it fails.

  Hi all 
  I'm in the process of looking at migrating my 
  RedHat Satellite based RHEL3 kickstarts to RHEL5.  Previously, I've 
  always had a '%include /tmp/partition.cfg' and code in the %pre script to 
  determine what '/tmp/partition.cfg' looks like.
  What I'm finding now is Anaconda/KickStart is 
  complaining about /tmp/partition.cfg being missing before the %pre script has 
  run.
  Any ideas on whats going on with this? 
  Thanks
