Service Pack Roll v5.0.3 for Rocks v5.0 is Released
The Service Pack Roll v5.0.3 for i386 and x86_64 architectures is released.
This roll includes the following new fix:
- Base Roll - Fix for Dell Virtual Floppy. On Dell machines that have Dell Remote Access Controllers (DRACs), the Dell Virtual Floppy would be recognized by anaconda as a hard disk. This would cause an exception that looks like:
Traceback (most recent call first):

KeyError: 'sdb'The fix is to filter out hard disks that don't have 'media present' (which is how the Dell Virtual Floppy behaves).
