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 Martin Kolman 2014-04-29 11:46:58 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1092441 +++

Description of problem:
The issue appeared in the middle of installing rawhide release using the BFO installer. This issue appered in ESXi 5.1 and latest Oracle VirtualBox. The point is that it appered on different days. Normal release is installing just fine. I might have look into this problem myself but I dont have time right now. Also the installation was done just without any changing (the only thing I changed was the root password and set the user, I didnt even created the volumes manually but let the installation do the work)

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-21.34-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 21.34-1 exception report

Comment 1 Martin Kolman 2014-04-29 11:49:27 UTC

The same code that caused the crash in some retry scenarios is also present in RHEL7 Anaconda, so the crash instead of retry can also happen there.
