Hi All,
I ran into this problem recently. I used "clearpart --linux". My admins
found that after install the system didn't boot properly. It turns out the
server had previously had a non-linux OS installed. Therefore I find that
"--initlabel" is very important to guarantee that anaconda will be able to
partition the drive, unless ofcourse you know for sure that there was only
Linux on your server perviously.

That is correct. The --initlabel option is pretty extreme, and is
not normally needed.
