Hi,
I'm trying to do an install of RHEL5.1 (i386), with the help
of cobbler.
All in a VMware at the moment.
The partitioning section looks like this:
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=150 --ondisk=sda
--asprimary
part swap --fstype swap --size=4096 --ondisk=sda
--asprimary
part pv.01 --size=2048 --ondisk=sda
volgroup rootvol pv.01 --pesize=32768
logvol / --vgname=rootvol --size=1024 --name=root --grow
--fstype=ext3
part pv.02 --size=4096 --ondisk=sda
volgroup usrvol pv.02 --pesize=32768
logvol /usr --vgname=usrvol --size=1024 --name=usr --grow
--fstype=ext3
part pv.03 --size=2048 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup varvol pv.03 --pesize=32768
logvol /var --vgname=varvol --size=1024 --name=var --grow
--fstype=ext3
part pv.04 --size=4096 --ondisk=sda
volgroup varlogvol pv.04 --pesize=32768
logvol /var/log --vgname=varlogvol --size=1024 --name=varlog
--grow
--fstype=ext3
But the installer halts with the "Big Problem, I can
only reboot - OK?"
screen.
The problem seems to be that the volumegroups are not active
(I can
activate them via vgscan and vgchange -ay on the 2nd
terminal, I see on
the 3rd that anaconda can't find them in /dev)).
I tried a "pre"-scripts, but I think anaconda
enters into some kind of
chroot and the device-files are not there anymore, when it
wants to format
the devices...
Has anyone had this problem?
I couldn't find anything in the archives.
Rainer

AFAIK there are problems with older versions of VMWare and
RHEL5.
What VMWare version are you using?

Oh, I forgot to mention.
I use Workstation 6.0.2 build 59824
I wanted to use server first, but server1.0.4 is only for
RHEL4 and
server2 is beta still 
It's running quite nicely on a Ubuntu 7.10.
cheers,
Rainer

Any error messages on the VMWare level?
If you try without LVs, does it work?
You can use the remote-syslog feature of anaconda to collect
possible
error messages during install. Cobbler uses this by default,
so it might
be worth checking these logs too.

I think it would work (because /boot is formated OK.
"sda" is there, after all.

I can send the whole ks.cfg file, if it is of any use.
We have been doing kickstart installs with RHEL4 for some
time (with
LVMs), but my co-worker tells me that the syntax he used
with RHEL4 has
stopped working with RHEL5.

This is directly from one one of my (working) RHEL5
kickstarts:
partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition pv.01 --size=1000 --grow
partition swap --size=1000 --maxsize=2000

Why do you create so much physical volumes instead of
creating just
one and several LV on it? ¿Why so much VG too?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition swap --fstype=swap --size=4096
partition pv.01 --size=2048 --grow
volgroup vgMain pv.01 --pesize=32768
logvol / --vgname=vgMain --size=7000 --name=root
logvol /var --vgname=vgMain --size=2048 --name=var
logvol /var/log --vgname=vgMain --size=4096 --name=varlog
logvol /data --vgname=vgMain --size=4096 --name=data --grow
Disk is a virtual 36 GB disk, newly created.
Rest of the ks-file is unchanged, but I deleted the
%pre-section.
Same error again.
/dev/mapper is empty, apart from the "control"
file.
If I vgscan && vgchange -ay, the devices show up.
Can you take my ks-file and try it at your site?
I'm using vmware, because it boots faster
cheers,
Rainer

I am using Xen, because it is Free Software
Will try over the weekend. I *guess* this is related to the
storage
driver and VMWare combination, but who knows ...
