I've previously used includes in CentOS 4.4 and they worked fine.
But in CentOS 5.5, trying to specify a driver disk via an include does not work.
If I instead specify it directly, it loads fine.
When it fails (because it can't see the disk drive - needs the driver disk to see the hard disk), in Console 2 I can see that /tmp/drvdisk exists and has the line I wrote to it. I see nothing that looks wrong in any log or kickstart file/fragment in /tmp.
Any ideas? Here's my complete kickstart to show/test this:
