This still happens on RHEL 5.5 with Anaconda 11.1.2.209-1.
The fix suggested by the original reporter works fine. Deploying RHEL
automatically via PXE/Kickstart is impossible unless all the machines to be
deployed have the same number of disks so they can be specified in ks.cfg's
clearpart command, or unless the following is done on the repository:

# mkdir stage2-ro
# mkdir stage2-rw
# mount -o loop images/stage2.img stage2-ro
# cp -a stage2-ro stage2-rw
# umount stage2-ro
# rm stage2-rw/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.pyc
# vi stage2-rw/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py #and patch according to comment
#0.
# mv images/stage2.img images/stage2.img.broken
# mksquashfs stage2-rw images/stage2.img
