try on a new system as well. The 'clearpart -all' is how you clear
partitions with CentOS kickstart? In my SuSE autoyast kickstart file I have
this:
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
## If set to "true", the partition table gets wiped out before AutoYaST
starts the partition calculation.
During the installation I can see that all of the partitions got wiped
out, but during the creation, the old values took place.
