A kickstart installation fails when the ignoredisk
--only-use option is used to point to a multipath
device. The problem is that multipath is not started by the
time that the installer searches the multipath map to match
the device.
The workaround is to specify which drives should not be used
in the partitioning section rather than using the
--only-use parameter to specify the
multipath device that you intend to use. This can be done by
using the ignoredisk --drives option. For
example:
clearpart --all --initlabel
ignoredisk --drives=sda,sdb
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --asprimary
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=8192 --grow --maxsize=51200 --asprimary
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904
part swap --size=16384 --asprimary
