You can always try running your %pre script by hand from tty2 (press <ctrl><alt>F2) of a manual install for correctness. I would recommend double checking your %pre script above for proper bash syntax. Everything looks good, but make sure you are closing out your 'if' stmt. That could cause the script to fail to run to completion. Also, I assume you have it, but be sure to %include /tmp/partinfo in your kickstart file. Thanks, James
