Description Michael E Brown 2003-07-10 13:52:30 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:

When installing from hard drive with ISO images on the hard drive, the
"--onpart" directive cannot be used to use the partition containing the ISO
files as another partition. 

For example:
   /dev/sda1 -- contains ISO images.

part /home --onpart sda1 --noformat

This will give an error "Cannot allocate requested partition". I would like
/dev/sda1 to become /home and to contain the ISO images when the installation is
finished.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy ISO images to HD
2. In ks.cfg, use the partition containing the ISO images in a "part" directive.
3. See helpful error message
    

Actual Results:  error message

Expected Results:  install should have used partition containing ISO images
