hmm, it looks like it's sticking /boot on the usb drive.
If you switch to console f2 can you find out what device the usb drive
is during install?
My guess is that the usb/cd combo has something like
/dev/sda1 == cdrom
/dev/sda2 == rest of disk
and so when you say clearpart --all it repartitions the drive and then
the /boot partition is placed on there.
I've not used the ignoredisk option before so I don't know if it's not
working.

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.. )

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.
