Comment 1 Ryan Barry 2016-06-22 14:01:37 UTC 
This appears to be another platform anaconda bug.

Can we re-assign to anaconda, please?
Comment 2 David Shea 2016-06-22 15:44:08 UTC 
Please attach the logs from the failure to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments.

Please also provide the steps you took to reproduce this issue. Is this a kickstart install or interactive? Did you hit done in the installation destination spoke, or did you use the automatic partitioning button in the custom partitioning spoke? Did you see the no space dialog? ("You don't have enough space available to install %(product)s, even if you used all of the free space available on the selected disks.")
Comment 3 Brian Lane 2016-06-23 00:01:06 UTC 
This sounds like bug 1340240. The error message should be more descriptive with anaconda-21.48.22.77
Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2016-09-15 12:37:41 UTC 
I sadly don't recall the details.

Chen, did you run into this bug and can provide the reproducer steps?

Sure.

Test version:
RHVH-4.0-20160822.8-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso

Test steps:
1. Prepare a small disk(e.g. 5G)
2. Anaconda interactive install RHVH via ISO.
3. Enter disk selection page.
4. Select the small disk and automatically configure partitioning.(see attachment "5G-disk2").
5. Save.
6. Focus on "Installation Summary" page. (see attachment "5G-disk2").

Test result:
There was a disk selected, but the disk was to small, but anaconda report "No disk selected".

Update  "5G-disk2" - >  "5G-disk1".
Comment 9 David Lehman 2018-02-12 20:18:47 UTC 
Can someone attach the logs from the failure? I'm fairly certain this will not reproduce on a normal anaconda installation with a 5GiB disk.
Comment 10 Ryan Barry 2018-07-16 15:06:46 UTC 
It needs an installclass which requires more than 5GB to hit this, David
Comment 11 Sandro Bonazzola 2018-11-28 11:10:40 UTC 
This missed 7.2.z -> 7.6; can we have a target milestone for this? 7.6.z? 7.7?
Comment 12 Jiri Konecny 2018-11-29 08:55:08 UTC 
Anaconda is not doing Z streams but we will look on this one during 7.7 planning.
Comment 13 Jiri Konecny 2018-12-03 11:09:34 UTC 
Hello,

Could you please verify if this issue is still valid on RHEL 7.6?
Comment 14 Fabian Deutsch 2018-12-03 11:25:31 UTC 
Sorry, I can't. Can maybe the anaconda test team help?
Comment 15 Sandro Bonazzola 2018-12-10 15:40:31 UTC 
Ying can you check if this is still happening in latest RHV-H builds?

It's acceptable from my point of view.

Based on c#18 and after talking with Sandro, I'm going to close this since this seems acceptable now. Please re-open if you feel the issue was not resolved.
