[Spacewalk-list] Kickstarting CentOS and partitioning problem

[Adrián Márques]

Hi all,

I finally got some time to try kickstarting again and this time I got 
further along the process. Now I got schedulle a kickstart of an already 
registered CentOS 5.2 system, which started just fine and looked quite 
promising until I got the following error during the installation:

<quote>
An error occurred trying to format myvg/rootvol.
This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue.
Press <Enter> to reboot your system.
</quote>

I didn't modify the partitions set by spacewalk for the client, which are:

<quote>
partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition pv.01 --size=1000 --grow
partition swap --size=1000   --maxsize=2000

volgroup myvg pv.01

logvol / --vgname=myvg --name=rootvol --size=1000 --grow
</quote>

I'll go read up on kickstart partitioning as soon as I can, I don't 
fully understand what all this means, much less fathom what the error's 
cause could be, but currently I can devote precious little time to 
trying out spacewalk, so I'd be really grateful if any of you could 
point me to the cause of the error or at least guide me in its general 
direction.

Thank you all for your attention.

Regards.

Adrián.
