REdhat Kickstart installation failing in disk partition
Hello Community,
I am struggling to identify a possible reason for a Kickstart automation partition problem I am having.
When I try to use a common installation Image I use to do I see an partition error on screen where looking more deeply in logs I see:
16:01:57,099 ERR anaconda: storage configuration failed: Unable to allocate requested partition scheme.
This is a test Virtualbox VM I am working with a VMDK disk of 64GB. The disk is a SATA disk to the VM, mapped on sda. On the installation terminal I can see the disk is ok, and properly recognized as sda. If I do a manual installation, I can manually partition the disk in ext4.
My Kickstart section related to this is:
Poweroff after installation
poweroff
Accept Eula
eula --agreed
Use text mode install
text
Install OS instead of upgrade
install
Use CDROM installation media
cdrom
System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr --append=" crashkernel=auto" --boot-drive=sda
Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
Disk partitioning information
part /boot --fstype ext4 --size 1024 --asprimary
part swap --size 16386 --asprimary

part /var --fstype ext4 --size 25600
part /opt --fstype ext4 --size 1 --grow

I checked all KB and documentation available and I cannot understand why this is not working.
Any recommendation from community to check the root cause for this problem?
