[CentOS] kickstart %pre vda/sda troubles
hi, The problem: for kvm/qemu disks are /dev/vdx devices when using the virtio driver. For vmware, drives are /dev/sdx devices. For hp servers, /dev/ccisss/whatever (sorry, no proliant with an array controller handy to check it). in order to just have one kickstart script to maintain I am trying to use the %pre section but getting a bit stuck. This is what I have: %pre if [ -b /dev/sda ] then zerombr clearpart --all bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=0 --driveorder=sda --append="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet" part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 part pv.008002 --grow --size=1 volgroup vg_host --pesize=4096 pv.008002 logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=1024 --maxsize=51200 logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=512 --maxsize=1024 fi elif [ -b /dev/vda ] then zerombr clearpart --all bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=0 --driveorder=vda --append="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet" clearpart --linux --drives=vda part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --ondisk=vda part pv.008002 --grow --size=1 --ondisk=vda volgroup vg_host --pesize=4096 pv.008002 logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=1024 --recommended logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_host --grow --size=512 --maxsize=1024 fi else echo unknown disk fi But when kickstarting a guest on a kvm host, I get this error: the kickstart configuration file is missing required information that anaconda cannot promtp for. Please add the following sections and try again: Bootloader configuration. If I swith to another virtual terminal, I see this: Device vda not found. But it's there, I can see it with ls -l, it is a block device Has anybody implemented something like this and is willing to share it?
