I think this is actually bug in the anaconda dracut module as there is already an anaconda bug 2141303, I'm closing this one as duplicate. Please note that in the screenshot, there's only this warning, there's no error mentioned (which is probably futher back in the log), which caused the error. There are probably many more warnings - it would be good to see the rdsosreport.txt or debug log (there's one in the other bug) to compare the errors. Both are most likely just timeouts, where the root disk was not properly mounted (for various reasons). It's necessary in that case to see the rdsosreport.txt where the disk layout is, as well as kernel arguments. If it's a architecture specific error, it may be very hard to reproduce though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2141303 *** On a second look, it seems it has timed out on kickstart. So either it took much long than expected (you can raise the timeout), or the kickstart has stuck/failed on some point. It would be best to follow up on that path first (i.e. starting with some minimal kickstart and seeing if that fails, and in what conditions). |
