what is the full ks.cfg I can't reproduce this. Where is the machine? The machine is one of the old NuLogix boxes we have in house. Celeron 333 w/ 128 meg of memory. I have it sitting in IS if you want to take a look at it. Also, the swap partition DOES appear to get created, just not the data partitions. The full ks.cfg file (minus the %post section which it doesn't get to): ### Start ks.cfg file ### lang en_US langsupport --default en_US network --bootproto dhcp url --url ftp://porkchop.redhat.com/mnt/test/roswell2-i386/i386 keyboard "us" zerombr yes clearpart --linux part /boot --size 32 --fstype ext3 part swap --size 256 --fstype swap part / --size 256 --fstype ext3 --grow install mouse timezone America/New_York xconfig --defaultdesktop=GNOME --resolution 1024x768 --depth 16 rootpw --iscrypted $1$b21xJQ10$dSFr20C.7aANskLX/ME3V1 auth --useshadow bootloader --location=mbr %packages @ GNOME @ Authoring and Publishing @ Software Development @ Games and Entertainment @ Graphics and Image Manipulation @ Sound and Multimedia Support @ Printing Support @ Windows Compatibility / Interoperability @ Messaging and Web Tools @ Network Support @ Utilities compat-glibc compat-libs compat-libstdc++ openssh-server sash ### End ks.cfg file ### If you REALLY want the %post section (which is really really long) let me know. ack! That ks.cfg file was my changed file, when I was typing to diagnose the problem. I tried both these lines: part swap --size 256 --fstype swap and part swap --size 256 And got the same results regardless. Both times swap was created, and the data partitions were not. What other info do you need? boot disk mismatched caused ext3 to be unavailable. kickstart set up the partition anyway, but didn't mount it as the kernel has no mount support for ext3. This caused the url fetching code to not have a place to put hdstage2 and we hung there. Deferring to future release. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
