For RHEL5 kickstarts, we use the isys module (from anaconda) to probe which

However, when trying to install a RHEl6 system with, it fails in the pre
part because the function hardDriveDict has been removed from isys.
A googlesearch pointed me to the direction of minihal as a replacement for
isys.DriveDict. However, currently it is not clear to me where I can find
the minihal module and how I should import this module in the pre-phase of
the kickstart.

Can anyone shed a light on this ?

You can use the list-harddrives command line program for this, or if you
are writing a script you can see what it does and duplicate it if
necessary.

No, list-harddrives is busted

The workaround for this is also here, though, and it's pretty simple, and won't break backwards compatibility, I don't think.
