Description of problem: anaconda aborts when running QA:Testcase_install_repository_Hard_drive_variation fc21 pre GA TC2 iso from http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/stage2/21_TC2 I prepared a ppc64le VM machine with fedora installed on first disk (sda standard partitions) and a second disk (sdb standard partition) where I copied the Fedora-Server-DVD-ppc64le-21_TC2.iso Then I tried to install the machine again using iso on sdb1 with following command for anaconda: linux /ppc/ppc64/vmlinuz inst.repo=hd:sdb1:/Fedora-Server-DVD-ppc64le-21_TC2.iso ip=:::::eth0:dhcp; initrd /ppc/ppc64/initrd.img; boot; Using vnc I checked I have got disk drive selected correctly. Then I select the two disks to install, using "reclaim space" options but preserving already existing data. Starting installation makes anaconda aborted with a bug report panel.
