Right. clearpart --all only affects the partitions on the disk...not the master boot record. I think what you are looking for is the 'zerombr yes' tag. This should reinitialize the boot record. Refer to http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7.1-Manual/customization-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html for more information about zerombr. I am using "zerombr yes" as well, eg: zerombr yes clearpart --all Red Hat 7.0 and earlier worked fine, this is a new change with 7.1. Jeremy check this against our current tree please. This works fine in our current tree. |
