You shouldn't have to... I would contact RH for support before doing that.. If the kickstart actually requires preformatted disks - that's a VERY BIG DEAL... and needs to be understood before it shoots you in the foot when you try to do things like automated provisioning using kickstart. I'm

I will defer to Brad Hinson or Shawn on this, but I think this is a known issue. Also, if the install does the formatting (dasdfmt) you get the infamous 0X0200 volser label. But I coukld be mistaken. Thanks Scott Rohling scott.rohl...@gmail.com Sent by: Linux on 390 Port

I took your suggestion and changed to --drives, and everything works :) This is what I changed to: # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work

Re: Kickstart question

2009-10-21 Thread David Boyes
fyi, the --drives= option is only necessary when the disk is *very* unformatted, i.e. cpfmtxa/cpformat/dasdfmt has never been run on this disk. It was tough to get a disk back into this state after it's been used in Linux, ICKDSF INSPECT will very quickly do this. 8-)
