I've selected to remove all partitions and create default layout 3. Actual results: Traceback Expected results: Install completes without errors. Additional info:
IIRC this system had unusually many hard disks attached to it. Will try to reboot it and check.
anaconda is not an approved component for RHEL4.x.
Those are the disks and partitions on this system: [root@nec-nx2-1 ~]# ls -l /dev/sd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jan 20 04:52 /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jan 20 04:52 /dev/sda1 brw-rw---- 1
