<DIV><FONT size=2>Thankfully, our servers are already setup in the
noc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We have a need for a new install once a
week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>While I appreciate the help on the
automation and the partitioning,. we are deviating from the
problem I'm reporting:</FONT></DIV>

a KVM setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Should I escalate this issue to the RedHat
bugzilla?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If an older version of CentOS/RH was able to skipp that prob
successfully,. CentOS 5.x should have that capability, or at least allow to pass
a parameter of 'novgaprob' or something like that.</FONT></DIV>
