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.

No, sda doesn't exist.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2010-05-10 14:20:47 UTC
Then this is functioning as designed - kickstart is more strict now in what it will accept, and referring to a disk that does not exist is no longer accepted.

Comment 8 Pavel Holica 2010-05-10 15:32:42 UTC
I understand thad installation shouldn't continue.
But problem is, that this is traceback and user shouldn't see any traceback.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2010-05-10 15:36:31 UTC
It doesn't really matter here whether it's a traceback or not.  You still see the real error message, and the installation was going to halt right then anyway.  Functionally, there's no real difference between what you got and what you wanted to have.  I don't think there's really a need to work on handling that and redisplaying it in a slightly different format.
