<p class=MsoNormal><span class=ittitle3><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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?</span></font></span><br>
<br>
<span class=ittitle3>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 <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">LV</st1:place></st1:City>
volumes myself. I've got a lot of different hardware environments, so,
I'd like autopart to do some of the work for me.</span><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
$pre<br>
autopart<br>
ignoredisk –drives=${IGNORE_DRIVES}<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>

Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
