Hi folkz

I seem to have resolved it by using the following help .
I used LUN's in my case .
HP Proliants, the RAID controller disks show up
as /dev/cciss/c0d0, c0d0, etc. /dev/sda is the first SAN LUN and I want
Anaconda to just completely disregard it.

I mentioned device scsi cciss in kickstart and it worked fine .
