Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-18 18:19:31 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Comment 6 Radek Vykydal 2011-04-19 08:04:01 UTC 
This should be fixed in anaconda-13.21.114-1.
Comment 8 Alexander Todorov 2011-04-20 12:49:07 UTC 
Tested with anaconda-13.21.114-1/0420.n.0 tree. 

There was no crash and after stage2 started anaconda reported a kickstart error:
The provided network interface 00:1C:C4:10:F7:D6 does not exist.

Moving to VERIFIED.
