Built a kickstart file, relevent portion ===================================== zerombr no clearpart --linux part / --size 60 part swap --size 127 part /usr --size 600 part /usr/local --size 200 part /var --size 105 part /home --size 1 --grow install ================================================= And ran this on a 2G scsi disk (on a SparcStation 2) This built partitions: sda1 /var sda2 swap sda3 -- Whole disk -- untouched sda4 /usr \ Might have the order of these 2 sda5 /usr/local / transposed sda6 / sda7 /home / on sda6 unfortunately starts more than 1024 M into the disk so SILO fails, and when one switches Alt-F2 to try to run by hand, "silo -r /mnt" one gets a rather obscure error about /boot/second.b Workaround was of course to leave /usr/local for the %post phase, dividing a larger /home
We have introduced new arguments to kickstart which allow you to specify the partition on which to create a certain mount point. This will solve the problem you are seeing in this report.
