Re: How to constrain the install through kickstart to one drive

You can't always use one size fits all. We have many kickstart files for our many servers. Each kickstart is tailored for a type of server and we use the type that best suits our needs.

So, the ondisk=sda/hda problem is solved by using the appropriate kickstart file. At the install screen we define which kickstart to use with "linux ks=kickstart_file_name".

HI All,

I have a number of machines I would like to install using kickstart. This isn't the problem as this I know how to do...but, some pc's have more than one HD installed. Some of the pc's have pata, sata or ide drives; that is a mixture of all I have mentioned. In order to combat the problem of kickstart not working on all types of disks, I took out the ondisk=[s|h]da. This works well on a pc with a single disk. With more than one disk, the second disk also get a filesystem. I don't want the second disk touched at all. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
