Anaconda traceback

Description of problem:
Anaconda crashes parsing kickstart file when there's no devices listed to install from.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
19.17-1

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use this kickstart file: http://mkrizek.fedorapeople.org/default.ks
2. Boot a KVM w/o a CDROM device
3. Anaconda crashes on startup of parsing kickstart file.
  
Actual results:
Fails

Expected results:
Tries another install type by asking you

Comment 1 Shawn Starr 2013-04-11 20:58:27 UTC
This isn't install type that fails, but parsing the list of available devices to install/partition

Comment 2 David Lehman 2013-04-11 21:06:25 UTC
Anything in ks.cfg that triggers a call to deviceMatches (clearpart --drives=..., ignoredisk) will hit this traceback.

Comment 3 Shawn Starr 2013-04-13 06:35:01 UTC
Reproduced in TC6

Anaconda 19.18-1, waiting for patch to be reviewed/commited

When will this update be part of a Fedora 19 ISO? I am using an ISO to build a VM when I encounter this problem.

Comment 10 Dean Hunter 2013-04-26 20:08:05 UTC
Is this fix supposed to be in the Fedora 19 Alpha DVD ISO?

I downloaded and tried to build a virtual machine using the alpha DVD and still get this error.

Comment 11 Dean Hunter 2013-04-27 16:53:58 UTC
After further review the Fedora 19 alpha DVD ISO contains:

anaconda-19.20-1.fc19.x86_64
pykickstart-1.99.26-1.fc19.noarch
python-blivet-0.11-1.fc19.noarch

but I can not find lorax*. Where is it supposed to be?

Comment 12 Dean Hunter 2013-04-27 17:50:19 UTC
I apologize. My problem was due to operator error.
