Comment 1 Sean P. Kane 2003-09-12 14:10:59 EDT

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 14:41:21 EDT

Specify the drive as sda without the leading /dev/ in your ks.cfg and things
should work fine.
