Kickstart on /dev/dasda requires formatting in %pre
Issue
Formatting the dasd-storage is not working with the following kickstart configuration:
zerombr no
clearpart --all --initlabel
It seems to be required to explicitly format the storage in a %pre-script:
%pre
dasdfmt -y -b 4096 -f /dev/dasda
Question:
Is using a %pre-script the only way to make the storage available for installation?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4
