Bug Description

Trying to perform a kickstart installation on an existing server.
The server's hard disk currently has one big "Linux RAID autodetect" partition.

The behavior I would expect is that it removes that partition, and performs an installation with the disk layout I specified.
Instead it seems to disregard the disk that has the partition, and -lacking other available disks- presents me with an "this menu allows you to configure iSCSI volumes" window (see attached screenshot).

After removing the partition manually with fdisk, the kickstart installation proceeds normally (without iSCSI prompt).
