--- Additional comment from Lukas Brabec on 2013-11-07 08:17:33 EST ---

1) storage -> done -> custom partitioning
2) delete (all) old and create new automatically
3) done -> accept
4) (accidentally, as used from previous Fedora) unselect disk -> done
5) select disk again -> done -> continue

In the RHEL7 beta installer,
1.) Delete existing automatic RHEL7 partitioning from a disk
2.) Let the installer create a new layout (the automatic option in the partitioning dialog)

package:        anaconda-19.31.36-1
product:        Red Hat Enterprise Linux
reason:         PartitionException: Partition is not part of the disk it is being removed from
release:        Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 Beta (Maipo)
version:        7.0

Comment 4 Jan Stodola 2014-02-14 09:17:32 UTC
Reproduced with python-blivet-0.18.13-2.el7, verified with python-blivet-0.18.23-1.el7. The traceback doesn't appear and the installation is successful.

Moving to VERIFIED.
