Category: Initial RAM Disk Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: parted is not 100% non-interactive in script mode. Initial Comment: I've just used SI (3.6.3) succesfully for installing RHEL4. I've encountered this problem: When running this line: parted -s -- $DISK0 mklabel msdos || shellout the installation failed. Experimenting in the command line, I found out that when ran in interactive mode, parted told me that partitions on /dev/sda are being used, and asked for Ignore/Cancel. Obviously, in -s mode, instead of asking, it bails out - so I replaced that line with echo i | parted -- $DISK0 mklabel msdos || shellout >From there it went like a breeze. I did not find any commandline option in parted that would tell it to assume yes/ignore on all queries, though. I'm not sure what was on the /dev/sda (the machine came out of the box but it might have had something preinstalled). Could not verify this behaviour on any other system but believe that it will happen consistenly if the disk of the installed machine is not clear. There was one more thing - this line: parted -s $DISK0 unit MB print | grep 'Disk geometry for' ... This just produced no output - I had to change the parameter order to: parted -s $DISK0 print unit MB.
