Description of problem: I'm attempting to run Anaconda within EC2 using a fairly basic ks.cfg file. This same kickstart worked with F19 Beta but is failing with this error using the most recent snapshot. The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 19.30.3-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1333, in execute raise KickstartValueError, formatErrorMsg(self.lineno, msg="Tried to use undefined partition %s in Volume Group specification" % pv) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1312, in execute v.execute(storage, ksdata, instClass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1646, in doKickstartStorage ksdata.volgroup.execute(storage, ksdata, instClass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/storage.py", line 390, in _doExecute doKickstartStorage(self.storage, self.data, self.instclass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 764, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 168, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 87, in wait self.raise_error(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/custom.py", line 820, in refresh threadMgr.wait(thread_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 108, in _runSpoke action.refresh() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 390, in _on_spoke_clicked self._runSpoke(spoke) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 406, in _on_spoke_clicked self._on_spoke_clicked(self._spokes[dest].selector, None, self._spokes[dest]) KickstartValueError: The following problem occurred on line 19 of the kickstart file: Tried to use undefined partition pv.1 in Volume Group specification Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-19.30.3-1 Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: ks=http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.9.4-301.fc19.x86_64 product: Fedora release: Cannot get release name. type: anaconda version: 19 Truncated backtrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 406, in _on_spoke_clicked self._on_spoke_clicked(self._spokes[dest].selector, None, self._spokes[dest]) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 390, in _on_spoke_clicked self._runSpoke(spoke) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 108, in _runSpoke action.refresh() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/custom.py", line 820, in refresh threadMgr.wait(thread_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 87, in wait self.raise_error(name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 168, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 764, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/storage.py", line 390, in _doExecute doKickstartStorage(self.storage, self.data, self.instclass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1646, in doKickstartStorage ksdata.volgroup.execute(storage, ksdata, instClass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1312, in execute v.execute(storage, ksdata, instClass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1333, in execute raise KickstartValueError, formatErrorMsg(self.lineno, msg="Tried to use undefined partition %s in Volume Group specification" % pv) KickstartValueError: The following problem occurred on line 19 of the kickstart file: Tried to use undefined partition pv.1 in Volume Group specification

bcl suggested I may be seeing this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969327 Further note - I have since attempted running exactly the same ks.cfg file in the same environment (Anaconda running in Amazon EC2 us-west-2) and did not get this error. By my rough count I've tried an install 5 times and had one success and 4 instances of the failure in this report.
