Issue

  • Why does kickstart installation using md RAID1 fail to install bootloader on MBR even with correct partitioning?
  • The program.log complains that it cant find the md125 device, Which isn't specified in the kickstart file and when df is ran, it appears to be mounted correctly.
  • Here is the partitioning.
ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda,sdb --append="crashkernel=auto"
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda,sdb
part raid.3795 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sda --size=251
part raid.3801 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sdb --size=251
part raid.3462 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sda --size=4100
part raid.3468 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sdb --size=4100
part raid.4215 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sda --size=46032
part raid.4221 --fstype="mdmember" --ondisk=sdb --size=46032
raid /boot --device=boot --fstype="ext4" --level=RAID1 raid.3795 raid.3801 
raid swap --device=swap --fstype="swap" --level=RAID1 raid.3462 raid.3468 
raid / --device=root --fstype="ext4" --level=RAID1 raid.4215 raid.4221
