<html><body> For your reference. Not sure if you can access to this link :( <a href="https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=view&tid=35828&gid=43"><tt>https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=view&tid=35828&gid=43</tt></a> Following infos are excerpted from the issue 35828: "... <tt>I have run this by our installer engineers and they have confirmed you are seeing correct behavior. Anaconda is designed to check every disk it can find on the system for a valid partition table, if there isn't one, we warn the user and prompt them to re-initilize the disk.</tt> <tt>...</tt> <tt>If *** has strong feelings about this, we can take this up as an RFE to add an "ignoredisk" type option to kickstart.</tt> <tt>" </tt> <tt>The final comment by RedHat:</tt> " <tt>At this point, there isn't anything in Anaconda to tell it to just ignore a disk. The behavior has always been to prompt the user in the case of any disk problems regardless if you are actually installing to it or not. I do not yet have an answer as to if we will add code to ignore certain disks during an installation.

Basically, unless I repartition the drives other than hda, I get an error saying that the parition information is inconsistent, and then prompting me to click ignore or cancel. If I click "ignore", then the install continues without incident, and everything is fine. However, I'm trying to make this install completely automated. What I'm looking for is a way to continue past this error: 1. Without erasing the data on hdb, hdc, hdd, etc (only hda), and, without having to press the enter key (as I will not be in the same physical location as the server). I have tried "autostep", but autostep seems to bring me into an interactive install that doesn't really auto or step through anything. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Koree A.
