Might be worth verifying that your virtual disk is 11.1gb or larger.  I
think the default virtual disk size is 4gb.

Subject: partitions on scsi and ide different ?


On an interactive installation using an IDE drive I get all the right 
partitions created and displayed in the gui.
If I use a SCSI drive it doesn't work at all.

I'm doing all these test on vmware in a virtual machine.

Is there a different setup in the kickstart script for IDE and SCSI ?

My kickstart script looks like:
.....
.....
#Use interactive kickstart installation method
interactive
#Install OS instead of upgrade
install
#installation media
cdrom

#System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
#Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr yes

#Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
#Disk partitioning information
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part / --fstype ext3 --size=5000
part /home --fstype ext3 --size=5000
part swap --size=1000
part /extern --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow
.....
.....
