When installing RHEL5.2-Server-20080207.nightly/s390x with a custom fix for bug#431922 ...

Created attachment 294352 [details] iscsi.patch Do we need to be checking has_iscsi() before accessing the ISCSIADM variables? I've patched iscsi.py and tested with an updates.img against the s390x tree. While it may not be pretty, it works around the problem. http://porkchop.redhat.com/nightly/RHEL5.2-Server-20080208.nightly/5/s390x/os/images/updates.img
Fixed in anaconda-11.1.2.97-1 and later.
Still seeing this problem with RHEL5.2-Server-20080211.nightly (anaconda-11.1.2.99-1.s390x) The VNC server is now running. Please connect to poe.z900.redhat.com:1 to begin the install...

This should be fixed in 11.1.2.100-1 . Thanks, James.
