Description Michael Young 2021-09-10 16:13:07 UTC

When I try a kickstart text install using the CentOS-Stream-9-20210909.0-x86_64-boot.iso ISO where the kickstart file has the --proxy setting in the url and repo sections 
I get the error
Kernel boot argument 'proxy' detected. Did you want to use 'inst.proxy' for the installer instead?
All Anaconda kernel boot arguments are now required to use the 'inst.' prefix

and the install can't be completed due to the missing proxy settings.

I suspect anaconda needs
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/b88e10fe3029602b369c719506588097fcbdf80b
backporting or something similar

NOTE: Not actually tested yet in Dracut.

So I've built a boot iso with the fix and can no longer see the reported error message in journal. This the fix seems to be working. :)

Comment 4 Petr Zatko 2021-12-16 12:41:12 UTC

Tested with RHEL-9.0.0-20211209.t.18 and anaconda-34.25.0.23-1.el9 according to comment 1:

The warning should still be displayed when "proxy" is used on the kernel command line.
* Correct

Proxy server is used for the installation when "--proxy" is used for the installation source in the kickstart file.
* Correct, tested both "url" and "repo", both function properly with --proxy in kickstart

Proxy server is used when "inst.proxy=.." is used on the kernel command line.
* Correct

marking the bug as Verified: Tested

Comment 7 Jan Stodola 2021-12-20 09:23:25 UTC

anaconda-34.25.0.23-1.el9 is included in RHEL-9.0.0-20211217.1, moving to VERIFIED.
