From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011228 Description of problem: Hi, I have some troubles with a Kickstart Installation of 7.2. I have some problems partitioning the harddrive. When I choose the option --grow for one partition in my ks.cfg. Here is my ks.cfg file: #Generated by Kickstart Configurator lang de_DE langsupport de_DE keyboard de-latin1 #Probe for Mouse mouse timezone --utc Europe/Berlin rootpw --iscrypted $1$^Y|H}QV~$//TIhK4GEyWctLLCE1IUr/ reboot text bootloader --useLilo --linear --location=mbr install url --url ftp://ftp.space.net/pub/linux/redhat/releases/7.2/en/os/i386/ clearpart --all part /boot --size 50 --ondisk sda part /usr --size 4000 --ondisk sda part /home --size 1000 --ondisk sda part / --size 256 --ondisk sda part /var --size 5000 --grow --ondisk sda part swap --size 256 network --bootproto dhcp auth --useshadow --enablemd5 firewall --disabled #Do not configure the X Window System skipx %packages wget openssh openssh-clients openssh-server The Installer crashes after formatting the partitions. With some errors like: /usr/sbin/probe: error while loading shared librariers: /lib/libc.so.6: cannot read file data: Error 21 install exited abnormally -- received signal 11..... If I choose in the kickstart file the interactive mode everything works fine, but the problem is i dont want to see everytime my configuration :) it should work absolutely without looking at the server. My opinion is that the installer has some problems creating an extended partition, because if I choose for /var a smaller size, so there has no extended to be created it works fine too. My System is: Celeron 500 Adaptec 2940 Scsi Controller IBM 9 GB UW hard disk 256 Mb ram Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.everytime i use the --grow option 2. 3. Additional info:
How are you booting your install? Is ramdisk_size=7192 being appended to the kernel command line?
Hi, I have tried the option with ramdisk and it helped. Arg I think i have tried an older howto. My howto on www.linuxdoc.org says you can add this lines to your syslinux.cfg default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img and there is no ramdisk parameter :(. Thanks for you help. Greetings Markus
