  • Kickstart Error - Error Partitioning - When Installing

    Posted on

    So I'm testing Kickstart in latest version of VirtualBox and working with RHEL6 and the server with the Kickstart file and install isos and then I have a client.

    It finds the Kickstart file via HTTP and start the process and then it hits the following error:

    Error Partitioning 
    
    Could not allocate requested partitions: 
    
    not enough free space on disks. 
    
    Press 'OK' to exit the installer
    

    I run ksvalidator against the Kickstart file and no errors come back. I've looked at alot of sample Kickstart files online to see if I can figure it out and can't make any headway.

    I'm going to post what I have here:
