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 of problem:
When an installation is started with boot parameters ks=file:/non/existing/path/kickstart.ks and inst.text then it will start automatic install process. For the sake of sanity this should be fixed soon. When there is only typo in the kickstart path it's hard to find out what is happening.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-21.48.22.56-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation with boot options ks=file:/non/existing/path/kickstart.ks and inst.text .
2. The installation stops on error message that you have bad storage.

Actual results:
Installation stops when complaining about bad partitioning.

Expected results:
It should stops on start of the installation with message "Missing kickstart file" or "Kickstart file %s not found".
