Use the install media kernel and initrd.img and boot in "rescue" mode... you'll have lvm to activate vg's and lv's and you can mount them ;)... but yes, it's easier with plain partitions > I'm also curious-- if your suggestion above works (where you > partition the disk with sfdisk and then use LVM), I'm even more > curious why my version doesn't work-- I'm doing the same thing, just > more statements of the form: "part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart=hda1". Mine is working with another layer... I'm kickstarting 64 mb machines (heavily unsuported), so I create a third partiton which a swapfile that I'm using during kickstart in order to avoid anaconda from aborting, in %post, I disable that swapfile, change partitition type with sfdisk (just edit type), I convert that partition to a PV and extending VG over that PV in order to not wasting space... ;) Regards Pablo _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
