I need to test this and maybe this is not a bug at all. I just have a theory but can not test because of bug 1664016 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: Because kickstart layout on CDN is different to RHEL 8 ISO layout, it would not possible to provision RHEL 8 Beta (and GA) for disconnected customers Disconnected customers who want to sync kickstart repos are supposed to follow this docs: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1375133 but layout (how files/dirs are organized) of KS on CDN differs from layout on RHEL 8 Beta ISO file (I have used "RHEL-8.0-20181113.1-x86_64-dvd1.iso") Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.5.0-5.beta.el7sat.noarch (snap #10) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sync this content (you need manifest with "Red Hat Beta" subscription) via Content -> Red Hat Repositories: # hammer repository list ---|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ID | NAME | PRODUCT | CONTENT TYPE | URL ---|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta Kickstart | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/appstream/kickstart 35 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta RPMs | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/appstream/os 30 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta Kickstart | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/kickstart 31 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta RPMs | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os 2. Provision some RHEL 8 Beta host (I have first discovered it, then provisioned it) so we know it works 3. Remove these kickstarts via Content -> Red Hat Repositories page (click "minus" icon in right column) # hammer repository list ---|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ID | NAME | PRODUCT | CONTENT TYPE | URL ---|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta RPMs | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/appstream/os 31 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS Beta RPMs | Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 Beta | yum | https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel8/8/x86_64/baseos/os 4.

Click "Build" button to rebuild the host (note you might hit bug 1664016 here) Actual results: I do not know yet. I assume it wont work. Expected results: It have to work.
