Created attachment 94451 [details]
Anaconda Dump File (Unix Format)

This is the output from the error message that appears when Anaconda crashes
during the partitioning phase of a kickstart install.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-09-12 18:41:21 UTC
Specify the drive as sda without the leading /dev/ in your ks.cfg and things
should work fine.
