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? Created attachment 514652 [details]

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 Indeed, I had previously dd'd an iso to this stick. I ran wipefs on it, and everything works fine! Thanks! |
Created attachment 514248 [details] 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.
