| Doc Text: |
The "DASD=" option in the CMS configuration file defines the Direct Access Storage Device (DASD) or range of DASDs to configure during the installation. To indicate that no DASD is present, remove the option from the configuration file because specifying "DASD=none" is not valid.
With this update specifying "DASD=none" is possible again.

There is an easy workaround: Instead of using DASD="none", don't use the DASD= parameter at all. Where should this be documented, Installation Guide or Technical Notes? We should get this cloned as documentation tracker against the targeted 7.0 documentation. It could be documented in both documentations, I will clone the bug. Retested with dracut-033-227.el7. Dracut ignores DASD="none" in CMS config file and no error message is printed. Moving to VERIFIED. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.
