* I'm not 100% convinced this is an anaconda issue or if this is a RHTS issue. For now, I'm putting this in anaconda * Description of problem: RHTS installs seem to be failing with: Retrieving installation information... In progress...

Reserve system in RHTS (via web or command line) 2. 3. Actual results: See above output. Expected results: Install should succeed Additional info: Seen on hp-dl380g5-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com, but IIRC I've seen this on several other systems.
