Description Rehana 2019-01-08 11:21:59 UTC 
Description of problem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.0-20190107.n.0-aarch64-dvd1.iso

How reproducible:
always 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the ISO as guest machine on a physical machine
2.Observed that the GUI install failed to start and the text mode installation began (PFA)
3.

Actual results:
X startup failed, falling back to text mode

Expected results:
GUI install screen should begin 

Additional info:
As a RHSM QE- we are trying to set "System purpose" value during install, this bug blocks us from testing it on non-x86-64 architectures as 'System purpose' is not available in text mode installation
Comment 1 Martin Kolman 2019-01-08 16:09:39 UTC 
Please attach logs from the installation run so we can track down the root cause. The logs can be found in /tmp during the installation and should be attached as separate plain text attachments. It would be good to also include a journal log dump.

There is scp available in the installation environment and a root shell running on TTY2. It is also possible to mount a usb flash drive and copy the logs there in case that is more convenient.

Thanks in advance! :)
