Hi, I'm not sure where to put this since there is no specific Kickstart section (I could find anyways). There is no way of making two linux swap paritions. We are making an unusual disk configuration as such: Primary / 256M Primary swap 128M Primary swap 128M Extended many other paritions Under kickstart, it makes one primary parition, and then one big extended parition. My understanding is that Linux can't use more than 128M of swap space per parition, (true?) so we wanted to double it up as such. That may or may not be true, but the bug is Kickstart doesn't allow this configuration. Ideally, the "part" kickstart command should take another paramter "--primary" as a hint to make a primary configuration. thanks, --nickg@sightpath.com
This is not a bug, the current libfdisk partitioning algorithm that is used in the install process does not support more than 1 primary partition. You will need to use fdisk by hand or change the swaps to extended logical partitions.

It should at least complain telling you it is unable to perform the partitioning requested.
