kickstart RH6.2 installation problems

[Kian Chang Low]

Hi,

My 2cents worth:

I am not sure whether it is possible to allocate any file system to any
particular partitions. Try using "hda" instead of all the "hda2, hda3,
...".

Regards,
Kian Chang.

       Dear netters,

I'm installing RH6.2 on the nodes of new Beowulf cluster.
I want to do kickstart RH 6.2 installation on HDDs, having
the necessary partitions (but they are w/o ext2fs created).

But after start of installation I receive following
traceback messages:

File /usr/bin/anaconda, line 341 in ?
     extraModules=extraModules)
File /usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py, line 332 in __init__
     self.setClass(instClass)
File /usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py, line 822, in setClass
     todo.addmount(dev,mntpoint,fstype,reformat)
File /usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py, line 395, in addMount

and install exited abnormally. It looks that
the problems are w/partitions. I'll be very appreciate in
ideas what is reason of errors.

ks.cfg file contents is :

lang en_US
network --bootproto static --ip 192.168.0.10 --netmask 255.255.255.0
--gateway 192.168.0.4
### Source File Location
cdrom
keyboard us
### Partitioning Information
#zerombr yes
zerombr no
#clearpart --linux
part / --size 141 --onpart hda2
       ^^^^^^^^^^
      (the result dosn't depend from the presence of size keywords)
part swap --size 133 --onpart hda3
part /usr --size 3004 --onpart hda5
install
### Mouse Configuration

### Time Zone Configuration

Thanks for your help !
