Hi,
    I'm using  RH7.1-SGI-XFS-1.0.1.iso for installing xfs based  Red Hat
systems. I'm using the kickstart  methord of installation.  My ks.cfg
file contains the the followings for "part " entry.


#--------------------------------#

part   /  --size  3000  --fs  xfs
part  swap --size  256
part  /home  --size  10000  --fs xfs  --grow    # My disk  is a 20GB IDE

#----------------------------------------------#

The kickstart installation starts after making the above partitions it
shows me a error dialog box giving the following error:

            Errot mounting device hda6 as / : No such device.

            Reboot your system.

Again in the Alt+F5 windows it showing the following error message.

    mkfs.xfs: Warning  -  cannot set  blocksize  on block  device
/tmp/hda6 : Input/output error

    Same for /tmp/hda5, tmp/hda1

I don't know what is the problem . Please help me. If  I install
manually every thing works fine.
