Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

kickstart file in use
I have created a bootable USB device with the install kernel and initrd as the boot source. My kickstart file is on the USB device along with the distro DVD image and an "images" directory.
Everything goes along fine until the system starts to configure the storage. The the following window appears:
Unknown Device: The installation source given by device ['sda1'] could not be found. Please check you parameters and try again.
The only exit choice is an "Exit Install" button.
I have tried with and without the "ignoredisk" option in the kickstart.
The options pass to the kernel are "ks=hd:sda1:/ks.cfg repo=hd:sda1:/". I have also tried with and without the "repo" options.
There's no need to use the ignoredisk command, as drives used as the installation source are automatically excluded as destinations. Can you please attach /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/storage.log to this bug report?
I'll bet you've previously dd'd an iso to this USB stick, right?
10:39:54,994 DEBUG : type detected on 'sda' is 'iso9660'
You need to erase the iso signature from USB stick before using it. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever bs=1M count=1 should do the trick. Or if wipefs is available you can use wipefs -a /dev/whatever
