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:
Anaconda doesn't stop when running a kickstart installation on a system with an LDL DASD disk.
Since LDL disks are not supported during installation, anaconda should not use them and let the user to proceed through the storage spoke manually (in case of vnc/text installation), or stop the installation in case of cmdline UI mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.6
anaconda-21.48.22.147-1.el7
python-blivet-0.61.15.72-1.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. format one DASD with LDL (dasdfmt -d ldl -b 4096 /dev/dasdX)
2. run a kickstart installation, use the LDL disk and the following partitioning section:

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


Actual results:
anaconda used the LDL DASD during the installation

Expected results:
anaconda should stop (in cmdline UI mode), or allow the user to go through the storage spoke manually (in vnc/text UI mode).
