Kickstart issue

I have an issue re-kickstarting RHEL 4 servers when I need to redploy
them. I have HP Linux servers that the CCISS raid controller (came out
of Compaq). The disk presented by this raid controller should up as
/dev/cciss/c#d#. If I have the systems connected to SAN storage then
they show up as /dev/sd[a, b,c, etc.]. If I try to kickstart a HP server
that has SAN devices already zoned to it the kickstart process fails
with "Input/output error during write on /dev/sda" error.  Does anyone
know what could be the problem and how to address. I'm would like to
eleminate having to disconnecting the fiber connections or unzoning
luns.

 

Here's my partition section of the ks.cfg 

        zerombr yes
        clearpart --drives=cciss/c0d0,cciss/c0d1 --all
        part swap               --start=1  --end=800 --ondisk cciss/c0d0
--asprimary
        part /    --fstype ext3 --start=801  --end=1057 --ondisk
cciss/c0d0 --asprimary
        part pv.00 --size 1 --grow --asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d0
        volgroup vg00 pv.00
        logvol /usr --vgname=vg00 --size=2024 --name=lvol1
        logvol /var --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol2
        logvol /home --vgname=vg00 --size=1024 --name=lvol3
        logvol /opt --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol4

 

Thanks for any help,
