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 Alexander Todorov 2014-12-04 10:14:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
I've had a VM guest with a single disk installed with:

zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart

Then I started a second VM install using the same disk image and the same kickstart. For some reason installation didn't proceed automatically (full ks.cfg will be attached) but stopped at the hub spoke, telling me to configure the installation target. I've selected the single disk available, deleted ll existing partitions and proceeded with the defaults. Then hit this traceback.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-19.31.111-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

We mount the xfs on rhel/root and then something prevents us from unmounting it.
Comment 17 Vratislav Podzimek 2015-06-26 09:54:05 UTC 
These issues used be caused by anaconda running 'ntpdate' (see also bug #1083978) to check the accessibility of NTP servers. The rebased anaconda uses python-ntplib which shouldn't cause issues like this. So I believe this should be fixed.
