When a partition table is unreadable, anaconda displays a
window explaining the situation and asks you if you would
like to format the disk for use. The existing message would
only give the device node name (e.g., /dev/sda47). This
patch adds the drive model name and capacity to the message
so confused users might know which disk anaconda is talking
about.
