From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020311 Description of problem: [posted on behalf of a customer] it seems that the amount of RAM anaconda needs when creating partitions is related to the size of the partition being created. Creating a 36GB partition with less then 384 MB RAM fails. Creating a 220GB partition with 2 GB RAM fails as well Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot a kickstart install via PXE 2. installer gets to 'formating partitions' 3. inode table starts being written 4. libc.so.6 cannot be found after some time (dependant on partition and RAM size) 5. inode writing completes 6. mkfs fails as libraries cannot be found Actual Results: no filesystem created Expected Results: creation of filesystem and clean finish of installation. Additional info: I will ask the customer to put himself on the cc list, don't want to do this without his approval.
What install method (nfs, ftp, etc)? Also, is the proper ramdisk_size parameter being passed to the kernel when it's being booted via pxe?
