Description Peter Gervase 2017-08-07 20:04:58 UTC
Description of problem:
I have been having problems re-installing my system (bz 1477351) and so I decided to try with a regular Fedora version rather than rawhide. I went through the configuration steps, but the installer again had issues.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-26.21.11-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 26.21.11-1 exception report

Looks like a storage related issue.

Changing components to blivet -- storage library.

Comment 16 Peter Gervase 2017-11-01 18:58:37 UTC
Wait long enough and things work themselves out. This isn't a problem anymore using the latest rawhide.
