[Bug 2104267] [NEW] autoinstall fails to execute zdevs entries, reports ZdevController' object has no attribute 'zdevinfos'

[Frank Heimes]

Public bug reported:

Starting with 25.04 the automatic generation of the autoinstall yaml
file while doing in interactive installation is included.

I now performed an interactive installation on a z/VM instance I the generated autoinstall file contained the new zdevs section:
  zdevs:
  - enabled: true
    id: 0.0.0200
  - enabled: true
    id: 0.0.0300
  - enabled: true
    id: 0.0.0400
Which is great !

I then took this autoinstall yaml, put it on my autoinstall server (as-is) as user-data file, and tried to do an autoinstall based on it.
But it fails with the following messages in the console:
"
