Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The "reqpart" Kickstart command will now only create partitions that are required by the hardware platform Previously, when the "reqpart" command was specified in a Kickstart file and no partitions were required by the hardware platform, the installer attempted to perform automatic partitioning. As a result, the installation failed with an error. This update ensures that the "reqpart" Kickstart command will only create partitions that are required by the hardware platform.

Description of problem:
When running kickstart installation on s390x and reqpart is specified in the ks file, anaconda fails to create requested partition scheme. The partitioning part of the ks file:

bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel

reqpart
part / --size=4000
part swap --fstype=swap --size=1000



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.5 / s390x
anaconda-21.48.22.134-1.el7
python-blivet-0.61.15.69-1.el7

How reproducible:
always on s390x

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run kickstart installation with the partitioning defined above

Actual results:

Expected results:
Successful installation. No other partition is created by reqpart, since it's not needed on s390x.
