Description Need Real Name 2001-09-27 17:18:27 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i686)

Description of problem:
I have installed a machine from Roswell CDs just fine. I then took the
generated kickstart config file (in /root/), added my usual stuff to the
%post section and tried a Kickstart install of the very same machine. The
error popping up is:

Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate
partitions.

Here is the section from my ks.cfg file which is disk related:

zerombr yes
clearpart --all
part /               --fstype ext3 --size 2048
part swap                          --size 2048
part /var            --fstype ext3 --size 1024
part /usr/vice/cache --fstype ext3 --size 1024
part /tmp            --fstype ext3 --grow

There are no more information on the other virtual console windows.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a ks.cfg with above mentioned disk partition schema
2. start Kickstart (I am using PXE and DHCP)
3.
	

Actual Results:  A window with above mentioned disk partition error pops
up.

Expected Results:  It should just partition the disk.

Specify a base size for the /tmp partition to grow from and it will work.  Dupe
of something else, current CVS gives a better error for this case

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2001-09-27 19:01:20 UTC

Ok, that works.
I would like to resubmit this as a documentation bug!
