(this has also been posted to rhn-satellite-users, sorry for the cross-posting). Hello. We are trying to setup automated partition aligment during kickstart install. The kickstart is generated from a Satellite 5.4 installation. In the %pre-section of the kickstart, I have the following script: fdisk /dev/sda <<EOF d 1 d 2 d 3 d 4 n p 1 1 +200m t fb x b 1 128 w EOF which deletes previously created partitions, creates a 200MB partition and aligns it to sector 128, as per http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf Then, we create the remaning partitions: part /boot --fstype=ext3 --noformat --onpart=sda1 part pv.00 --size=1000 --grow volgroup vg00 pv.00 logvol /opt --vgname=vg00 --name=optvol --size=6000 --grow logvol /var/opt --vgname=vg00 --name=varoptvol --size=1000 --grow logvol /var --vgname=vg00 --name=varvol --size=4000 logvol / --vgname=vg00 --name=rootvol --size=8000 logvol swap --vgname=vg00 --name=swap --size=4000 During installation, after the %pre-scripts have run, the following messages appears: "Unable to locate partition sda1 to use for /boot. Press OK to reboot your system" On VT 2, I am able to verify that the partition does indeed exist (using fdisk -lu) and that it starts at sector 128. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Does anyone see a solution to this? Sincerely, -- Thomas H.
