Description of problem: I use kickstart to make some mass-install of Fedora workstations, this system is in place since FC2, is revised at each distro we want to use and run without problem since. We use the following partition scheme : 1- DOS partition primary hidden (ghost agent) 2- NTFS partition primary (Windows XP) 3- Linux partition primary (for / ) 4- Swap partition primary in kickstart shows as : # disk partitioning information part swap --asprimary --fstype="swap" --size=2048 part / --asprimary --fstype="ext3" --grow --size=1 But with FC11 something appeared, anaconda refuses to create my Linux partitions as primary giving a "Could not allocate requested partitions" changing to # disk partitioning information part swap --fstype="swap" --size=2048 part / --asprimary --fstype="ext3" --grow --size=1 Solves the issue but gives a uselessly complicated partition scheme : 1- DOS partition primary hidden (ghost agent) 2- NTFS partition primary (Windows XP) 3- Linux partition primary (for / ) 4- Extended partition 5- Swap partition logical Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create 2 primary partitions on disk plus space left 2.create a kickstart asking to create 2 more primary partitions 3.launch the install on the kickstart Actual results: gives a "Could not allocate requested partitions" messages and abord install Expected results: create the 2 supplementary primary partitions as expected giving 4 primary partitions on disk Additional info:
