Created attachment 1108471 [details] screen shot of anaconda error Description of problem: This is reported by Jerry Hoemann: I was attempting to install Fedora 23 Workstation to one of our NVDIMM systems (this is in live cd form.) The install kernel boots, but anaconda fails because of the presence of pmem0 (no disk label). A simple work around (without rebooting) was to: 1) finish quitting out of anaconda (failure was the only option.) 2) run a shell 3) rmmod nd_pmem 4) re-run install to disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 23 How reproducible: Very, if you have a system with NVDIMMs that are recognized by the kernel, causing /dev/pmemX devices to be created. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the live CD and attempt to install 2. 3. Actual results: Fails with attached error Expected results: Anaconda should ignore the pmem devices, at least for now. Additional info:
Please attach the logs from /tmp/*log as individual text/plain attachments.
Adding needinfo for Jerry to see if he can get the logs. Otherwise I will try to reproduce.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
