I would like to redefine "/" and "/boot" as ext3, but instead of doing this, Anaconda simply creates the default partition layout, plus my specified layount, meaning that I end up with the duplicate partitions (and the install eventually fails). Here are the relevant lines from my kickstart file: graphical interactive install zerombr bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append=" LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet" clearpart --all --drives=sda part /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200 part pv.01 --grow --size=1 volgroup VolGroup --pesize=4096 pv.01 logvol / --fstype=ext3 --name=lv_root --vgname=VolGroup --size=40960 logvol /scratch --fstype=ext3 --name=lv_scratch --vgname=VolGroup --size=19216 logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=VolGroup --size=1056 When I go through the install wizard and check "Review and modify partitioning layout" Anaconda has done the following: LVM Volume Groups: Vol Group: lv_root / ext3 40969 lv_scratch /scratch ext3 19219 lv_swap swap 1056 VolGroup00: lv_root / ext4 25644 lv_swap swap 1056 Hard Drives: /dev/sda: /dev/sda1 /boot ext4 200 /dev/sda2 /boot ext4 200 /dev/sda3 physical volume (LVM) 30518 /dev/sda4 Extended 30514 /dev/sda5 physical (LVM) 26703 Notice how anaconda creates two logical volumes, two / and two /boot partitions. One thing which is bothersome is that even when I start out with the partitioning information from "anaconda_ks.cfg" from a manual install, it does not work. To get as far along as I am now, I had to reorder some lines to resolve a underfined partition error (anaconda would write out the "part" lines after the "volgroup" lines. It's a little frustrating that Anaconda isn't able to write a "anaconda_ks.cfg" which it can itself read. Even when I corrected the problem, I ended up with duplicate partitions. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? -- Marcio </div>  </div> </body></html>
