Dear All, At some point after release of CentOS 7 (though this thing might have started before, it is just when _I_ noticed it) I discovered that if I stick into machine drive without disk label, and then do kickstart installation, the command in kickstart file clearpart --initlabel does not work. Even worse: if I just use GUI installer the drive is not listed between available disks. If I switch in the same installer to some virtual console Ctrl + Alt + F2 I can see that the kernel installer run under definitely sees the drive: /dev/sda is present. It must be an issue beaten to death, but somehow my search ability fails on this particular one (I am not "googling" but "duckduckgo-ing", though this shouldn't matter the problem as usually must be myself). Can someone suggest something? I know it is trivial to just create disklabel before sticking drive in machine, but once I'm using kickstart, any need in separate manual steps feels really lame. Thanks a lot for all your help in advance!
