Description of problem:
The ksconfig GUI tool doesn't allow the user HP cciss disk names.  For example, on a typical HPDL380 the disk are exposed to the OS with names like:

/dev/cciss/c0d0

or

/dev/cciss/c1d2


In this naming scheme the integer following the last c is the controller number and the integer following the last d is the disk number.  In a kickstart script one can use "cciss/c0d0" and anaconda handles the situation correctly.  The ksconfig GUI however will not allow the user to enter anything other than a name like "sdx" or "hdx".  If one attempts to enter a cciss device name the GUI will not allow it and reset the field.  These names should clearly be allowed.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-kickstart-2.5.16-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  start the ksconfig tool
2.  on the partition information section add a partition
3.  choose the ondisk option
4.  enter a cciss disk name like 'cciss/c0d0'

  

Actual Results:  ksconfig disallows the entry and resets the field

Expected Results:  'cciss/c0d0' should be allowed, it is a legal value

Additional info:

cciss drives are found on virtually all HP modern x86 servers, this is a fairly common need
