Hello, Could you please provide us installation logs? You can find them in /tmp/*.log. This could have the same root cause as described in bug 1781517. The installation freezes so I don't know how I could collect logs from /tmp/. But it does indeed sound very similar to the bug mentioned in #2. Adam, could you please switch to tty2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and run the following command when the installer starts to download the packages? # grep "download location" /tmp/packaging.log If the download location is /tmp or /, it's the same problem as described in bug 1781517 and we can close this bug as a duplicate. Thanks I tried but that does not work: bash: grep: command not found There are very few commands available to me in this shell, no grep, no cat, no ls, nothing that could help med read the log file. That's weird, grep/cat/ls are available in the installation environment and you should see this: [anaconda root@localhost /]# grep "download location" /tmp/packaging.log 11:23:44,584 INF packaging.log: Mountpoint /mnt/sysimage picked as download location [anaconda root@localhost /]# I wonder what the following command says: [anaconda root@localhost /]# echo $PATH /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/bin: [anaconda root@localhost /]# Hi Adam, Could you please tell us how are you getting into the console or give us screenshot? I think you are not in the installation environment for some reason. I switch to tty2 (ctrl+alt+f2) and get a shell. It's the only tty with a shell. Don't think i had 'echo' either, and no directories at all. Maybe I was in a chrooted env or something? Unfortunately that machine is dead now so I can't give any screenshots or test further. We have an automated install process so changing install images and locations is a bit of work and potentially breaking for users requesting new servers. But I will give it another go. ok, so I managed to get the download location, and it is in fact "/" ("Mountpoint / picked as download location").
Thing is, when the installation crashes TTY2 becomes pretty much unusable. In some instances it's simply not there, in other instances commands disappear (which happened to me before) and you are in a real weird state. So I had to be real quick to execute the grep command before the installation crashes.
Looking at the download info on TTY1, it only tries to download 621RPMS/416.51MiB.
Thanks a lot for the log message. So this is the same problem as described in bug 1781517, which will be fixed in RHEL-8.2. When the installation crashes, the system is in a really weird state, there could even be a kernel panic. I'm closing this bug as a duplicate of 1781517. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1781517 *** |
