[Thincrust-devel] Problems with RHEL kickstart file

[Dwain Sims]

Alan:

Thanks - I had done just what you suggested and made great progress.  I
hit the --timeout problem as well.  I did the right thing and deleted. 

Now I have yet a new issue.  I used the 

part / --size 2000 --fstype ext3 --ondisk hda
part /boot --size 120 --fstype ext3 --ondisk had

with hda as Bryan suggested.  However I hit error when running this VM
under Xen....

Specified nonexistent disk had in partition command.

I think I need to use xvda instead.  

Comments?

%end was introduced in F8, so anaconda/pykickstart < F8 can't parse that
(RHEL5 is ~FC6)

using ksflatten --version=rhel5 on F9 should[1] either produce RHEL5
parsable kickstart or die with the error message complaining about
unsupported option: If so remove it, rinse, repeat.
e.g.
ksflatten --version=rhel5 aos-rawhide.ks 
Failed to parse kickstart file 'aos-rawhide.ks' : The following problem
occurred on line 0 of the kickstart file:

no such option: --timeout
...
Workaround is to remove offending option and try again:
-bootloader --timeout=1 --append="acpi=force"
+bootloader --append="acpi=force"
