The question is, does HP care? The last time I used hpasm and
friends, HP wanted you to install them using their "insightpaq" bundle
and installer or something similar. I think their "supported" method
still requires at least running under the actual boot kernel because
it did some kind of kernel module futzing in the scriptlet or at
startup. Minimally, I think they make the assumption that userspace
is more standard than what's found during %post in kickstart.
Me personally? This is a task for cfengine or puppet at first boot.
Failing that, perhaps this might work around the problem in %post:
nohup yum -y install $hpstuffola 2&>1 > /dev/null < /dev/null &
HTH, and why yes, I'm still having coffee
