[CentOS] Kickstart issue with UEFi

[Andreas Benzler]

Here is how i dig it up.

# efi partionen ???
%pre --interpreter /bin/sh
if [ -d "/sys/firmware/efi" ]; then
        echo "part /boot/efi --fstype=efi --grow --maxsize=200
--size=200" >/tmp/efipartition-ks.tmp
else
        echo "# no efi system" >/tmp/efipartition-ks.tmp
fi
%end

# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
# Disk partitioning information
%include /tmp/efipartition-ks.tmp
part /boot --fstype="ext4" --size=250
# make the physical partition for the LVM to sit on "pv.01" is
"partition volume number 01" alternatively something like "pv.02393"
would be fine.
# this partition should "grow" to fill the entire disk, the initial size
is 1mb (don't use 0 here)

Sincerly
Andy
