Description Mark Hamzy 2013-06-12 15:33:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Tried unattended kickstart installation but received the no disks selected error.  When I went to the installation destination, clicked done, and then reclaimed space on sda, I received this error.

This should be fixed by https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2013-June/004530.html (bug 865213). Please retest once that fix is in place.
Comment 14 Mark Hamzy 2013-06-13 15:03:17 UTC 
I tested with your patch and it seems to work for me.

Tried to use DVD.iso on /dev/sda6 (ext4, extended partition) as a repository for installation (using inst.repo=hd:sda6:/DVD.iso). I was able to boot, DVD.iso was selected as installation repository, but traceback showed up during installation.
