Still having problems with anaconda crashing because the filesystem

Tried changing the logging command in the kickstart to:
logging --level=debug --host=172.20.0.22 <
http://172.20.0.22>
This resulted in messages going to the Ctrl-Alt-F3 virtual console to
go to
/var/log/messages on the cobbler server.
tried using port=25150, but that didn't seem to do anything
This is for remote syslog and is not supported on EL4, though you didn't
specify which you were using, Cobbler adds this automatically to
Anaconda kernel arguments so it does not require manual setup or use of
the logging directive. I imagine the logging directive does the same as
syslog=host:port, in either case this is better asked to kickstart-list,
which is the list for all Anaconda related details
(
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list)
in /var/log/cobbler on the cobbler server
I have cobbler.log and install.log and empty directories for kicklog
and syslog
how do I get logfiles recorded in kicklog and syslog
Think what I'm really looking for is how to capture the messages that ran
off the top of the screen on the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console
It is reporting lots of ioerrors on xvda
Here are the relevant parts of the kickstart:
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=xvda
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda
part /boot --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext2" --ondisk=xvda
--size=100
part swap --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap" --ondisk=xvda
--recommended
part / --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext3" --ondisk=xvda
--size=1 --grow
... snip ...
We seem to have created the correct logical volume:
[root@hollywood kickstarts]# lvdisplay dat-vg/gtm-00-disk0
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/dat-vg/gtm-00-disk0
VG Name dat-vg
LV UUID gUDfR8-6BkI-eemF-d5f5-ds0e-8cm5-WegeYq
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
# open 0
LV Size 10.00 GB
Current LE 2560
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 256
Block device 253:0
Doing a fdisk -l on the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console
it appears to have been partitioned correctly
But it's mounted read-only
Can't cut an paste from the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console window.
Should I be using the anaconda command
logvol instead of part
Definitely ask kickstart-list(a)redhat.com for that. This is what it's
there for and storage related questions come up frequently.
