All machines kickstarted here consistently have a swap partition with the wrong size. According to the RHEL5 manual:
| To determine the size of the swap partition automatically, use the | --recommended option: | | swap --recommended | | The recommended maximum swap size for machines with less than 2GB of RAM is | twice the amount of RAM. For machines with 2GB or more, this recommendation | changes to 2GB plus the amount of RAM.
However, the swap partition on all kickstarted machines is 2GB, regardless of RAM size.
This seems to be a 5.2-specific bug - 5.3 and 5.4 appear to do the right thing.
Time to upgrade, I guess.
