Hi Bill,
Thankfully, our servers are already setup in the noc. We have a need for a new install once a week. While I appreciate the help on the automation and the partitioning,. we are deviating from the problem I'm reporting:
How to bypass the VGA prob and use the GUI install while using a KVM setup.
Should I escalate this issue to the RedHat bugzilla? 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.
Thanks,
-Sup.

Hi Fabian,
I can't use kickstart as I have diff configs for each server. The servers are rented out to my clients as dedicated servers. Each client has his own needs, so not much that I can do about this. Also, different servers with different hardware (diff size HDs), so just the partitioning by itself must be done manually.
Maybe this one task can be automated. When I was working on RAS for a NAS, we had to be able to handle different HD configurations and sizes. In the install/recovery image I generated on CD (this was several years past), we used sfdisk to automatically partition the HDs. Using a fixed "root" partition size, we calculated the rest of the disk as a % of available for each desired partition. Worked great.
