list-harddrives plugin is broken in 5.7 beta. It fails with printing Traceback and the last line: ImportError: No module named bootyutil
list-harddrives is a script, not a plugin. How are you running it? Can you attach the complete traceback to this bug report?
We run it from %pre section of a kickstart configuration file: set $(list-harddrives) instdrive=$1 but you could run it manually if you switch to shell prompt (Alt-F2) after anaconda starts Here is the complete output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/list-harddrives", line 17, in ? import partedUtils File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 25, in ? import fsset File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 35, in ? import bootyutil ImportError: No module named bootyutil
Do you need any more updates from me, it would be unfortunate if it was broken in the final release.
Redhat 5.7 was released with broken list-hardrives, this is very strange, I reported the problem well in advance. We would have to recommend our customers to skip version 5.7, since they rely on kickstart deployments
Just add a Python path to the command. I.e. call list-harddrives likes this: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/booty list-harddrives
I've hit this problem too with 5.7 release, we should get upgraded installation images fixing this... Regards
