Description

Does this install need multipath? If not, can you try booting with "nompath" added to the kernel commandline. This will completely disable multipath. These messages should go away. If the install works with multipath disabled, then this is likely a multipath problem, and I'll look into it further. If the install still fails, then multipath shouldn't be at fault here, and these messages just happened to be the last thing printed. In that case, I'll move the bug over to the anaconda team. Marta, please also try booting with rd.debug on the command line (*). I hit this same issue today and the serial console logs on my system showed the DHCP client was failing to get an IP address. I'm curious if your system is having the same issue. If so, this is likely a bug in NetworkManager instead of multipath.
(*) rd.debug turns on verbose output from dracut, the tool that builds the initial RAM-disk used when booting:

Marta, also, can you open a customer support ticket at https://access.redhat.com/ ? Bugzilla is our software engineering tool, and access.redhat.com is our customer support tool. I want to make sure your issue does not get lost, and customer support will help with that. We have been facing this issue when kickstart installing Supermicro storage servers and hypervisors. It seems the installer does not reach the kickstart ks file before the issue occurs. I think the problem is the initrd.img file, that was updated last time 2022-11-25. When using frozen private repository which offers older version of initrd.img, the 8-stream installation succeeds. Since the hang still occurs with nompath set, it doesn't appear to be a multipath issue. Reassigning to anaconda, to see if they know what's going on here. The problem was related with the network interfaces. Thanks for your support. Marta, if you are still able to reproduce the problem, could you please boot the installer with "rd.debug" on the kernel command line and provide the console output?
