hello,
just started playing with foreman and ran into an issue.
i had no problems installing centos6.7 via kickstart from my foreman
instance using libvirt to install onto a kvm host.
I tried the same templates and tried to install centos 7.1.1503 however it
keeps failing and getting "Pane is dead" and I noticed one thing in the
program.logs pasted below.
looks like its not finding the /dev/vda or unable to access it. I did the
storage setup just like the one for centos6.7.

my default partition profile is below
#Dynamic - The below code is to manage the swap size

in MB

it is maximum 24 G for really inactive stuff.
