Description of problem: If disks are added during the %pre section, the drive dictionary is not updated. When attempting to partition this disk in the kickstart file. Anaconda will raise an exception: "Specified nonexistent disk sdb in partition command" I believe this can be worked around by adding isys.flushDriveDict() to the Partition class (in kickstart.py) before hds = isys.hardDriveDict() Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.2.113 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a kickstart file that adds a disk (iscsi on the non kickstart network ) during %pre 2. Set up the disks partitioning layout in the regular section of kickstart. 3. Boot the system with the kickstart Actual results: "Specified nonexistent disk sdb in partition command" Expected results: Partitioning to continue. Additional info: This is a strange configuration as the iscsi storage is on a different network than the kickstart storage network.
Moving to RHEL 5.5 so it doesn't get mistakenly closed by the bot
