Using autopart under RHEL 5.1 kickstart - resizing default /boot size

["Kent Baxley" <kb4xley gmail com>]

I am using autopart to automate the creation of
partitions and logical volumes during a kickstart install (RHEL5.1).  The default
size of the /boot partitions created by autopart is 100 meg.  I am
looking for a way to increase this default size of /boot when autopart
created the partition.  Is there a way to do this?

I have played
with part but have not found an easy method to change the default in autopart
without having to write a lot of code around the whole proces and
create the LV volumes myself.  I've got a lot of different
hardware environments, so, I'd like autopart to do some of the work
for me.

Here is the code currently being used to automate the creating the
partitions and Logical Volumes.  NOTE:  The ${IGNORE_DRIVES} variable
can change from machine to machine and is set by my own code but can be
removed without affecting default autopart partition sizes.


$pre
autopart
ignoredisk –drives=${IGNORE_DRIVES}


This
code creates default partitions and logical volumes as advertised by
the RHEL 5 kickstart document.  The manuals claim that part can be used
to change the default partition sizes that autopart creates.  So far, I
have not been able to change the /boot partition from 100 mb.

Thanks.
