Description of problem: When I attempt to run "list-harddrives" on a Fedora 13 system during a kickstart (either manually from the VT 2 or from a kickstart %pre script), it generates the following error: # list-harddrives Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/list-harddrives", line 39 in <module> File "/usr/bin/list-harddrives", line 28, in main disk = parted.Disk(dev) File "<string>", line 2, in __init__ File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/parted/decorators.py", line 31, in localeC ret = fn(*args, **kwds) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/parted/disk.py", line 51, in __init__ self.__disk = _ped.Disk(device.getPedDevice()) _ped.DiskLabelException: /dev/sr0: unrecognised disk label All testing was performed on a vanilla VMware Server virtual machine with a single virtual SCSI drive (SCSI 0:0) on a virtual LSI Logic SCSI controller 0. This error occurred when (a) the virtual disk had a previous RHEL 5.4 image on it, (b) the virtual disk had a previous Fedora 13 image on it, and (c) even after the first 200MB of the virtual disk had been zeroed via "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=200". I have not had the opportunity to test this on a physical machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda 13.42 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin a kickstart in Fedora 13 2. Switch to virtual terminal 2 via ALT-F2 3. Run "list-harddrives" at the command prompt. Actual results: Error as shown above Expected results: A list of the available hard drives devices on the system. Additional info:
