Anaconda can't squeeze out the repomd.xml
Greetings.
There must be some minor changes to anaconda. I'm getting the error:
"Cannot open repomd.xml file...."
the file seems to be located in the repodata directory...
I'm using the following .cf taken directly from the CentOS 4.4 install :

MIrrored drives won't boot after installation
I have a p4 motherboard with 2 ide interfaces, I connect 2 40 GB drives as
hda and hdc, I install Centos 4 from a CDROM, and partition the drives as 2
x raid partition each plus a swap partition on hda, the make md0 and md1 to
install /boot and / respectively. Install goes well, everything looks great,
go to reboot from drives, and all I get is "grub" but no boot. I have tried

Installation problems with large mirrored drives
I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can
successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when
I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having
problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives.
This is what I'm trying to create:

kickstart raid disk partitioning
Hello.
A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers
using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks
with two software raid1 partitions as follows:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU]

questions on kickstart
I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files.
1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it
cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works.

Centos 4 - text based install - LVM ?
Has anyone gotten this to work ?
I can define a raid device but cant put a VG on it. I then tried
'autopartition' and it created an 'LVM' of sorts, when I tried to edit
it I wasnt able to as a message appeared saying, LVM editing was not
allowed in text mode.
Any help ?
Cheers,

CentOS 7 kickstart question
Dear Experts,
Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7?

Guide to stripping Centos 3
I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list
earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a
bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the
Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of
an install to the bare bones.
Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have
missed?

Centos 7 and Software Raid Minimal Install
I am trying to install Centos 7 on a couple 4TB drives with software
raid. In the Supermicro bios I set UEFI/BIOS boot mode to legacy. I
am using the Centos 7 minimal install ISO flashed to a USB thumb
drive.
So I do custom drive layout something like this using sda and sdb.
Create /boot as 512 MB XFS raid1 array.
Create SWAP as 32 GB SWAP raid1 array.
Create / on 3.xxx TB XFS raid1 array.

kickstart partitioning and cylinder boundary
As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from
centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file):
clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel

part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda
part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda
part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

LVM and kickstarts ?
Hey,
Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I
need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed
down my config.
It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point
does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol)
It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup
correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not

anaconda, kickstart, lvm over raid, logvol --grow, centos7 mystery
I am testing some kickstarts on ESXi virtual machine with pair of 16GB disks.
Partitioning is lvm over raid.
If i am using "logvol --grow i get "ValueError: not enough free space in volume group"
Only workaround i can find is to add --maxsize=XXX where XXX is at least 640MB less than available.
(10 extents or 320Mb per created logical volume)

Kickstart putting /boot on sda2 (anaconda partition enumeration)?
Does anyone know how anaconda partitioning enumerates disk partitions when
specified in kickstart? I quickly browsed through the anaconda installer
source on github but didn't see the relevant bits.
I'm using the centOS 6.10 anaconda installer.
Somehow I am ending up with my swap partition on sda1, /boot on sda2, and
root on sda3. for $REASONS I want /boot to be the partition #1 (sda1)
