ignoredisk in RHEL 6.0, anaconda 13.21.149
I am trying to find some information regarding how
ignoredisk works and to see if it’s use has changed since RHEL5.* In RHEL 6/anaconda 13.21.149 *when I am installing with USB media and I use ignoredisk --disk=<list of disks which includes the USB drive> (like ignoredisk --disk=sda,sdc )my install fails with the message (from storage/__init__.py in my version of anaconda): *** *"The installation source given by device [‘LABEL=IPMDISK'] could not be found". It appears that in RHEL 6 when anaconda is looking for installation media, it will ignore the drives in this list.* I have used this option exactly the same way in RHEL 5 and it did not have this issue. * The documentation I have found for ignoredisk only states that it ignores these devices “when partitioning, formatting and clearing” which doesn’t appear to have changed for RHEL6. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#ignoredisk states: *** ignoredisk *** Controls anaconda's access to disks attached to the system. Only one of the following two options may be used. *** ignoredisk --drives=[disk1,disk2,...] *** Specifies those disks that anaconda should not touch when partitioning, formatting, and clearing. *** ignoredisk --only-use=[disk1,disk2,...] *** Specifies the opposite - only disks listed here will be used during installation. *** ignoredisk --interactive *** Allow the user manually navigate the advanced storage screen. * I have tried both options listed above, using the --drives option to ignore disks I don’t want to install onto, or with the --only-use, with the same results. I have searched the web looking for anything regarding this but have only found this one link: *** http://grokbase.com/t/centos/centos/117x0rppsg/kickstart-and-centos-6-episode-2 * Is this expected behavior for ignoredisk now?* Am I missing something? * Thanks.

That means the installer is not at all aware of the device's presence. To use a disk as install source but not for partitioning, you'll have to use the --drives option to clearpart (if using clearpart) and/or the --disk option to partition.
