Description Petr Spacek 2014-10-16 07:11:09 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to install Fedora 21 using kickstart which worked three weeks ago, on 2014-09-24.

The only storage-related thing which was changed in the kickstart from 2014-09-24 that:
"volgroup vg_root pv.01"
was replaced with
"volgroup vg_root pv.01 --pesize=4096"

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-21.48.8-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 21.48.8-1 exception report

I re-tried installation with kickstart from 2014-09-24 and it fails too so it is not caused by change in volgroup settings.
