Hi all,
I've got an installer that I've been trying to get to work on various
servers depending on their under-lying disk type. I adapted a KS from
the web and came up with the kickstart below. In short though; I'm
trying to use it on CentOS 4.8 i386.
It creates the '/tmp/part-include' file but only with the 'clear-part'
line. It doesn't seem to run the bash script after it. Do I need some
magic to make it run?
Thanks!

If you try and run the script on a regular box, it fails. While you are
working on fine tuning the script, run it on a regular box and verify
that the file it creates that to test with initially before you move to
the load testing situation.
You need spaces between [ and the contents of the test. For example,
if [grep -q cciss/c0d0]; then
should be
if [ grep -q cciss/c0d0 ]; then
You also need to append to the file after your first echo command so
that you don't overwrite it each time
e.g. echo "foo" >/tmp/part-include
will overwrite.
echo "foo" >>/tmp/part-include
will append.
Those were the things that stuck out to me right away.
