It would be a rather stupid problem, because one explicitly points
Anaconda at the directory where to find _the_ one relevant ISO image.
Everything else in subdirs of parent dir ought to be irrelevant.

$ find /media -type f

The more often you repeat that, the more it smells like a broken
"find files" implementation that doesn't stay in /14 but strips off
one path component too much and hence expands the search to / of the
partition. Something like that.
