Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Description George Beshers 2014-03-19 18:30:03 UTC
Description of problem:

Installing RHEL7-20140116 Server from download.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com via netboot
with a vnc command line on sgi-uv1.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com.

Anaconda got as far as starting to create efi on /dev/sdc1.

This worked on /dev/sdb -- albet with the LVM rather than standard partitioning.

I divided the disk into 4 partitions (standard)
200MB  -- EFI  -- /boot/efi -- /boot/efi
2GB      -- XFS -- /boot      -- /boot
128GB  -- XFS -- /             -- root
9.??? GB -- swap --           -- swap
1.3 (?) MB left over.

The last column were the labels on the partitions.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-19.31.48-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 19.31.48-1 exception report

Comment 14 George Beshers 2014-03-19 20:26:09 UTC
An error message rather than simply bombing out would
be more user friendly.

Realize that it would have to wait for 7.1
