This bug still exists in F19-Alpha-i386-RC4-DVD

Comment 11 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-20 00:11:25 UTC
Bug 948090 shows the ks with autopart directive being used and isntall stops at main menu and acts like no disk was chosen.

Comment 12 Robert Lightfoot 2013-04-20 00:37:39 UTC
Turns out --all must be in clearpart directive for this not be a problem on previously populated disks.

Comment 13 ajs 2013-05-25 19:03:59 UTC
Between F19 Alpha and F19 Beta RC4, this quit working even if clearpart --all is specified.

The following quit working for me between those two versions

ignoredisk --only-use=sda
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
autopart --encrypted --type=plain --passphrase=${DISK_PASSPHRASE}

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2013-05-30 02:40:06 UTC
What do you mean by 'quit working', exactly?

Comment 15 ajs 2013-05-30 16:46:48 UTC
Sorry for the hasty report.

Anaconda used to clear all of the partitions on sda and install F19 on that drive with the partitioning scheme chosen by 'autopart'

Now, Anaconda waits at the main hub claimimg that it doesn't have anywhere to install to.  When I select the disk spoke, everything is already selected properly, but I have to reclaim the space on sda.

See the attached anaconda.log-ajsfedora-Beta

The six minute break between lines 138 and 139 is just me reclaiming the disk space on sda and accepting all of the settings from the kickstart file.

I'm going through the storage.log file for privacy and I'll upload it in a few minutes.

Ah, that sounds rather like another bug we've been looking at, currently under https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967527 but probably going to be split out from it. I think we can close this one, but please follow up there.

Comment 19 ajs 2013-05-30 17:24:20 UTC
I'm running an install from F19-Alpha to collect the logs.  Should I post those logs there or here?
