Description of problem:

kickstart install of F21 Server RC1 to an unpartitioned disk with partitioning commands:

clearpart --linux --drives=sda
part /boot --size=200 --ondisk=sda
part pv.1 --size 4800 --ondisk=sda --grow
volgroup vg_root pv.1
logvol / --vgname=vg_root --size=3500 --name=root
logvol swap --fstype=swap --vgname=vg_root --recommended --name=swap
logvol /var --vgname=vg_root --size=2000 --name=var
logvol /var/crash --vgname=vg_root --size=20000 --name=crash
zerombr
bootloader --location=mbr

Install does not proceed automatically, summary screen shows "No disks selected"

anaconda.log has:
22:03:55,706 DEBUG anaconda: new disk order: []

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2014-09-17 22:57:35 UTC 
I seem unable to continue either through automatic of manual partitioning at this point.
Comment 5 David Lehman 2014-09-19 17:01:09 UTC 
You need either zerombr or 'clearpart --initlabel' if you want disklabels put on empty disks.
Comment 6 David Lehman 2014-09-19 17:03:07 UTC 
Sorry -- I initially missed your zerombr. I happen to have just written a patch for this.
Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2014-10-01 20:17:26 UTC 
This still seems to be present in 21 Beta TC1.
Comment 8 Orion Poplawski 2014-11-05 00:20:32 UTC 
Looks like this is fixed in F21_TC1
