Description of problem:
Brent,

This is the machine you looked at this morning.

One particular machine in the perf lab, a UP athlon, generates an anaconda
traceback during a kickstart install.

We at first suspected a hardware problem, but have since been able to
successfully install via nfs.  This is with the enigma-respin tree and the
kernel groups' kickstart script: 
master.perf.redhat.com:/var/lib/dhcpd/kickstart/ks-scsi.cfg

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
 	

Actual Results:  Anaconda traceback attached.

Additional info:

I can point out the machine if someone wants physical access.

Anaconda traceback
Comment 2 Bob Matthews 2001-10-02 18:47:50 UTC 
I see from the traceback the error appears to be connected with sda.  This
machine has only a single IDE disk.
Comment 3 Bob Matthews 2001-10-02 18:49:59 UTC 
Ok, duh.  My bad.  Of course our kickstart config will not work on IDE.
