Hi,
So we're running into a strange issue where a kickstart from a USB/CDROM combo on an HP DL385 G5 system is actually installing and reformatting the USB stick.
We place the kickstart file on the USB drive, drop in a RHEL5 DVD and run:
linux ks=hd:sda1:/hostname.cfg
The installation goes fine and our packages are installed, but upon reboot and examining the USB stick, it has been reformatted to ext3 FS and contains :
stha3155@ghost:/media/usb$ ls
config-2.6.18-8.el5 grub initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img lost+found symvers-2.6.18-8.el5.gz System.map-2.6.18-8.el5 vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5
Upon reboot of the system, it crashes with a bunch of OPCODE errors.
The relevant part of our kickstart looks like this ( we don't do anything tricky in our packages or post install, just touch a few config files.. )
install

logvol /usr/local --fstype ext3 --vgname=rootvg --size=2048 --name=locallv
%packages
Tried putting the 'ignoredisk' option in order to ignore the sda1 disk that the USB shows up as, but no luck. As a side note, the disks on the HP show up as /dev/cciss/c0d0.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
