Thanx Pablo

I've only had time to play around with this today, but with very little 
success. Here's my kickstart config for the partitioning:

# Determine how many number/type/size of drives we have
set $(list-harddrives)
let numd=$#/2 # This will provide the total # of drives
d1=$1 # This is the device of disk 1
d2=$3 # This is the device of disk 2, etc.
d3=$5
d4=$7
d5=%9
S1=$2 # This is the size of disk 1
S2=$4 # This is the size of disk 2, etc.
S3=$6
S4=$8
S5=$10

%include /tmp/partinfo

# This would be a partition scheme for three or more drives
if [ $numd -ge 3 ] ; then
cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
part raid.11    --size 200      --asprimary     --ondrive=$d1
part raid.12    --size 2048     --asprimary     --ondrive=$d1
part raid.13    --size 1 --grow                 --ondrive=$d1

part raid.21    --size 200      --asprimary     --ondrive=$d2
part raid.22    --size 2048     --asprimary     --ondrive=$d2
part raid.23    --size 1 --grow                 --ondrive=$d2

part raid.31    --size 200      --asprimary     --ondrive=$d3
part raid.32    --size 2048     --asprimary     --ondrive=$d3
part raid.33    --size 1 --grow                 --ondrive=$d3

raid /boot      --fstype ext3 --device md0 --level=RAID1 raid.11 raid.21 
raid.31 --spare=1
raid swap       --fstype swap --device md1 --level=RAID1 raid.12 raid.22 
raid.32 --spare=1
raid pv.01      --fstype ext3 --device md2 --level=RAID1 raid.13 raid.23 
raid.33 --spare=1
EOF
elif [ $numd - ge 2 ]; then
cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
part /boot     --fstype ext3 --size=150  --ondisk=$d1
part swap                    --size=4092 --ondisk=$d1,$d2
part pv.01     --fstype ext3 --size=100  --grow --ondisk=$d1
part pv.02     --fstype ext3 --size=100  --grow --ondisk=$d2
EOF
else
cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
part /boot     --fstype ext3 --size=150  --ondisk=$d1
part swap                    --size=4092 --ondisk=$d1
part pv.01     --fstype ext3 --size=100  --grow --ondisk=$d1
EOF
fi


# LVM configuration so that we can resize /, /var and /usr/ later
logvol /                --vgname=sysvg  --size=3072     --name=root
logvol /usr             --vgname=sysvg  --size=8192     --name=usr
logvol /tmp             --vgname=sysvg  --size=1024     --name=tmp
logvol /var             --vgname=sysvg  --size=8192     --name=var
logvol /home            --vgname=sysvg  --size=20480    --name=home
if [ pv.02 ]; then
logvol /bck             --vgname=pv.02  --size=1 --grow --name=bck
fi


Yet, when I run fdisk -l, there's no partitioning information, almost 
asif the installation script doesn't run the included /tmp/partinfo file
Attached the the /tmp/partinfo & /tmp/anaconda.log files - maybe you 
could see something I missed?
