Grub not getting installed after kickstart installation

[Shabazian, Chip]

Ok, so this installed ONCE?

 

I have run into this issue with the DL servers (and the CCISS
controller).  

 

This happens when you have previously setup disks using LVM on a cciss
controller.  If you delete and recreate the partitions in the CCISS
Controller ROM BIOS setup, it will work again, one more time (that's how
I originally figured it out).

 

OR, add -initlabel to your clearpart command in the kickstart file:

 

clearpart --all -initlabel

I am installing from a local CD. 

Try removing everything from your %post and make /boot it's own NATIVE
partition, not LVM 


/boot is primary partition and not a part of LVM (check the ks file
posted with the original post). Also I added those %post commands later,
it was not working anyway so I thought I will try installing Grub
through %post.

Installation always went smooth but when I try to boot from the hard
disk, nothing is coming up. So it looks like a problem with grub getting
installed on the MBR.

Cheers.
