Description James Laska 2008-10-31 15:31:51 UTC
Description of problem:

Both in graphical and text-mode the iSCSI volume add dialogs make it appear that CHAP is required. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 11.4.1.53

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into graphical or text-mode anaconda
2. At partitioning, add an iSCSI volume
  
Actual results:

Or maybe even still in one dialog?

Additional info:

 * In graphical mode, it would make sense as an expanding section widget.  Not sure what hte widget is called, but when clicked, it expands below to show more dialog options.

 * This is a NIT ... I know.  I know text-mode divergence isn't a good thing too.
