But when I try to install CentOS 5.1 via kickstart, anaconda complains that "You have not defined a root partition (/), which is required for installation of CentOS to continue". Has anyone successfully installed CentOS 5.X via kickstart and preserved at least one partition on a logical volume, and if so, could you please share your kickstart file?

Alfred,

This worked fine for me on a 4.6 kickstart I did recently. I can't remember whether I tried it on 5.x or not, sorry.

bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda
part /boot --onpart=sda1 --fstype=ext3
part swap --onpart=sda2 --fstype=swap
volgroup vg --useexisting
logvol / --useexisting --name=root --vgname=vg --fstype=ext3

Because the volgroup already exists you don't need to define a PV for it.

Hope this helps, although it doesn't look much different to your config!

Regards,
Tom
