</span>We use RHEL 6 (snapshot 7) for unattended OS deployment. In the ks.cfg,
we used<br>
python in %pre section to find hard disk. The python module "kudzu"
is not find<br>
in RHEL6, which we where using for all our unattended deployments. Also we used
<br>
doGetBiosDisk function from isys module to find the bios boot disk. This<br>
function also seems deprecated. Please suggest the alternate for kudzu module<br>
and doGetBiosDisk.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
