How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7.3Alpha on target server via PXE server;
2. It will report error during installation
--> [   10.590343] dracut-cmdline[293]: Warning: 'method=' is deprecated. Using 'repo=nfs:192.168.9.254:/ISO/RHEL7.3Alpha1/' instead.

Installation failed.

Expected results:
Installation success.

Additional info:

PXE server is normal, because we could install RHEL7.2 based on same target server.

Hello Lenovo,
Please attach the anaconda logs from the failed install.

Please confirm if this system was able to be installed on RHEL 7.2?

Thank You

Yes, we could install RHEL7.2 with same target server,  the FW and HW are totally same.

Hi Joe,

Please tell us how to get anaconda logs? I have uploaded PXE installation failed logs as attachemnt, isn't it enough to get the root cause?

Thanks

Hello,
From the system being pxe installed:
Run: 
systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service > initrd-switch-root.service.txt
journalctl >  journalctl.txt

Please attach to the ticket:
/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt
initrd-switch-root.service.txt
journalctl.txt

Thank You
Joe Kachuck

Today we have reconfigured our pxe image server, and after that this issue couldn't be reproduced.
Sorry for this false-alarm, it is really strange because RHEL7.2 could be installed correct from beginning to end.

Thanks,
Huaisheng
