How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start installation in text or vnc mode
2. select partitioning, enter time zone/password and continue with the installation
  
Actual results:
traceback

Expected results:
anaconda creates partitioning and installs packages

Additional info:
tested only on s390x, not sure if the same traceback appears on x86_64

Comment 6 Dan Horák 2012-10-18 13:05:53 UTC
It shouldn't happen on x86, hwclock doesn't exist on s390 at all
