And what was already more interesting got further interesting yet: if I leave out all partitioning-related options, it will just say it couldn't make a primary partition and give me `Reboot' as the only option. :-( No kickstart for me :-( You should be able to do this now (tested locally). See bug 82406 for the gory details. Confirmed, it works. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: Anacond generates a kickstart file with a volgroup line that, if put in, will clear the entire contents of the volume group, but if left out, will prevent me from assigning mount points to logical volumes I intend to preserve or format. Even more interesting: on an interactive kickstart install, if I leave the root filesystem out of the kickstart file because I want to put it in a preserved volume group, the installer won't let me get to the disk druid screen. When I click on Next in the Mouse Configuration screen, it opens a window saying that errors have occurred with my partitioning, because I have not defined a root partition, but when I click Ok, it remains in the Mouse Configuration screen, so I can't fix the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a kickstart file setting only /boot and swap. Enable the `interactive' option. 2.Boot the installer with this kickstart file 3.Try to get to the Disk Druid screen Actual Results: You can't Expected Results: You should. Additional info:
