could not allocate partitions as primary partitions

[nixkid]

Hi All,

Hope all of you having a great day, I am a little new to linux . I am facing this below error when I try to kickstart my server with RHEL 4 .

"Error partioning
Could not allocate requested partitions:

Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions.

Press 'OK' to rebot your system."

I dont see what the problem is ? Below is partition info from the ks file

partition / --fstype=ext3 --size=4000
partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition /usr --fstype=ext3 --size=2000
partition /usr/local --fstype=ext3 --size=1 --grow
partition /var --fstype=ext3 --size=2000
partition swap --size=2048

Could someone please guide me out.

Many Thanks
nixkid

You can only have 4 primary partitions, which if what you have listed you are attempting to make all primary, that will not be possible, you need to create some extended partitions
