No, sda doesn't exist.

syslog
Then this is functioning as designed - kickstart is more strict now in what it will accept, and referring to a disk that does not exist is no longer accepted. I understand thad installation shouldn't continue. But problem is, that this is traceback and user shouldn't see any traceback. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It doesn't really matter here whether it's a traceback or not. You still see the real error message, and the installation was going to halt right then anyway. Functionally, there's no real difference between what you got and what you wanted to have. I don't think there's really a need to work on handling that and redisplaying it in a slightly different format. |
