What were you trying to do that didn't work?

--> Install RHEL using Anaconda with an NFS installation source defined via Kickstart. When the NFS or installation source is unreachable or incorrectly specified, the installer does not report any error and fails to proceed.

What is the impact of this issue to you?

--> The installer gets stuck in an infinite loop at “Checking storage configuration” with no user-visible error message, blocking the installation and making troubleshooting difficult.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

--> Anaconda instraller
