Created attachment 619759 [details] program.log with auto partitioning Description of problem: The Fedora 18 Alpha LiveCD installer keeps complaining "no disks selected" even after selecting a disk and choosing automatic partitioning.

So it looks like your live USB is showing up as /dev/sda, and for whatever reason we don't look at / find /dev/sdb as a valid stage1 device for the boot loader, thus you fail the storage checks. Passing on to our storage point of contact.
I'm also seeing a similar problem when attempting to do a network install using virt-install and a remote kickstart. Steps to reproduce... 1) Run this virt-install command.... virt-install \ --name "fedora18-alpha-guest" \ --ram 1024 \ --nographics \ --os-type=linux \ --os-variant=rhel6 \ --location=http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/18-Alpha/Fedora/x86_64/os/ \ --extra-args="ks=http://fubralimited.github.com/CentOS-KVM-Image-Tools/kickstarts/fedora18-alpha-guest-gpt.cfg text console=tty0 utf8 console=ttyS0,115200" \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora18-alpha-guest.img,size=10,bus=virtio,format=qcow2 2) Watch the console, and look out for errors in storage.log and program.log Storage.log - INFO anaconda: No FCoE EDD info found: No FCoE boot disk information is found in EDD! Program.log - ERR program: FATAL: Module scsi_wait_scan not found. The installer hangs at this step. Regards, Paul
There are also lots of the following error in /tmp/syslog: ERR systemd-udevd: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:/org/kernel/dm/multipath_event' 'socket:/org/kernel/dm/multipath_event': No such file or directory
(In reply to comment #7) > I'm also seeing a similar problem when attempting to do a network install > using virt-install and a remote kickstart. This sounds like a different issue, even if only because you're doing kickstart as opposed to a live install. Please open a new bug and include the following log files from /tmp as attachments of type text/plain: anaconda.log program.log storage.log packaging.log syslog Thanks.
OK new bug submitted here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870388
same system with Fedora-18-Beta-i686-Live-XFCE.iso does not have that problem anymore. Thanks.
