Description of problem: Previous releases of anaconda supported ignoreing given block devices (this is useful when for instance the device in question is labeld with gpt) FC5t3 does not support this syntax anymore.
Please attach your kickstart file to this bug report.
Here it is. Some entries like @distarch@ and @host@ get replaced with the system's parameters. I dropped a couple of entries like rootpw and %packages/%post. install url --url http://install.atrpms.net/distributions/@distarch@ # lang en_US.UTF-8 langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 # keyboard us #xconfig --driver "ati" --videoram 8128 --resolution 800x600 --depth 16 #monitor --hsync 31.5-37.9 --vsync 50-70 #skipx mouse --device=genericwheelps/2 # network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 160.45.32.250 --netmask 255.255.252.0 --gateway 160.45.32.1 --nameserver 160.45.35.138,160.45.35.139,160.45.35.141 --hostname @hostname@ #firewall --enabled --port=ssh:tcp --port=ssh:tcp firewall --disabled #selinux --enforcing selinux --permissive authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 --enablecache timezone --utc Europe/Berlin # #bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet" #bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" bootloader --location=mbr # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work clearpart --all --drives=sda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda part pv.42 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda volgroup system@host@ pv.42 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=system@host@ --size=1024 --grow logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=system@host@ --size=1000 --grow --maxsize=2000 ignoredisk --drives=sdb,sdc,sdd,sde,sdf,sdg,sdh,sdi,sdj,sdk,sdl,sdm
Please try with rawhide tomorrow. Should be fixed.
Thanks Chris! Currently rawhide doesn't install for me, at least not via pxe. I get > Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... > Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> > ... That's a different bug, but I cannot do any rawhide anaconda testing due to it. Maybe you could look into this as well?
Today's rawhide installs via pxe and the ignoredisk directive works, thanks!
