I've tested the code you offered, seems it can not stop anaconda doing partition erase while the your code promote the user to confirm, that means if user don't select 'reboot' action at the VT8 screen before anaconda keep processing 'package dependency check' then perform partition and disk format at VT6, the user still will face data loss risk. Any trick to suspend anaconda to wait user indeed do a confirmation?

In ks.cfg:
