Screen shot of installer error

Description of problem:
Provisioning from Satellite 6.1.5 to RHEV 3.4 specifying 7.2 kickstart media 
(treeinfo attached)

using any partition table


install fails when creating volumes 
"Value Error: new value nonexistent xfs filesystem is not valid as default fs type"
self._check_valid_fstype(newtype)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py"

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


How reproducible:
always - even deleted all my Satellite content and re-installed
Deployment works fine with 7.1 kickstart image

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a partition table in Satellite e.g.
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart

2. create a new host and select 7.2 kickstart media
3. submit the creation

Actual results:

"Value Error: new value nonexistent xfs filesystem is not valid as default fs type"
self._check_valid_fstype(newtype)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py"


Expected results:
installation proceeds normally

Additional info:

FWIW the image you attached is not an installer error message.

Something in the media is missing that is needed to support XFS. That probably means either that your kernel does not match the media (it must) or you have custom media that has issues (eg: missing xfs utilities).

Thanks David, didn't know where to put this one... Kickstart image, so figured it might land here. Rebuilt my Satellite Server and content. Still happens. Who do we ping on this one?

Comment 5 Brian Lane 2016-01-05 01:35:56 UTC
This error usually indicates that you have a mismatch between the kernel you are using and the initrd and/or stage2 image. You have to make sure that they are all from the same installer media. You can't mix, say, a RHEL 7.1 kernel with the initrd/stage2 from rhel7.2

Comment 6 Paul Armstrong 2016-01-05 19:39:27 UTC
OK. Well. I guess I need to move this over to the Satellite team or the CDN team as the content is not coming down to the Satellite properly. I am not building the kickstart images nor configuring their component locations. I am simply synching up the content to my Satellite and deploying systems. It results in the aforementioned error.
