Description Fotios Tsiadimos 2014-12-19 14:35:59 UTC

Description of problem:

During the early stage of kickstart, it complained about 2 files:
update.img and product.img ,  (http://[satellite-server]/ks/dist/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-7-7.0/images/update.img  and product.img,  the anaconda got HTTP 404 error) and thus the installation going into a text-only mode (it did finished kickstart eventually).
Do you know where can I get those 2 img files on Satellite server?  I couldn't find them on RHEL7 DVD either.   Please advise.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite 5.6

kickstart clietn RHEL7

How reproducible:

kickstart a RHEL7 machine on satellite5 then watch the logs:

# grep <ip of the system> /var/log/httpd/*log |grep .img

The installation finsihed but we received the above errors

Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2014-12-19 15:15:46 UTC

That's perfectly normal. Those files are not supposed to exist. Anaconda is compatible with several different types of sources for what it will be installing, and it guesses at things until it finds what it's looking for.

Text mode is default for Satellite kickstarts unless you've explicitly changed that in Systems -> Kickstart -> Profiles -> <profile> -> Kickstart Details -> Advanced Options by unselecting "text" and selecting "graphical" instead.

This all seems like perfectly normal behavior to me, and it sounds like everything is working properly. Closing as NotABug.
