Well, this still didn't work as expected. Parted/fdisk or whatever it uses left the USB drive alone but I think grub still got installed to the USB drive because the system would just hang when trying to boot from the the system HDD (sda). I used a centos DVD in linux rescue to manually install grub onto hd(0,0), rebooted, and then after rebooting also saw that grub.conf was setup with root hd(1,0) which again shows that the installer installed grub onto the USB kickstart disk rather than onto the system drive! Modified hd(1,0) to hd(0,0) while in the grub menu and the boot worked. So what am I missing now ? Would this work?: bootloader --driveorder=sda,hda http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.5/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html Would those options cause grub to look at sda first and install there? Again, a kickstart option like this would be great : leavet...@$@!...@#kickstartmediaalone Thanks, Sabuj Pattanayek _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
