.New boot option `inst.wait_for_disks=` to add wait time for loading a Kickstart file or the kernel drivers
Sometimes, it may take a few seconds to load a Kickstart file or the kernel drivers from the device with the `OEMDRV` label during the boot process. To adjust the wait time, you can now use the new boot option, `inst.wait_for_disks=`. Using this option, you can specify how many seconds to wait before the installation. The default time is set to `5` seconds, however, you can use `0` seconds to minimize the delay. For more information about this option, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/boot_options_for_rhel_installer/index#storage-boot-options_kickstart-and-advanced-boot-options[Storage boot options].

Hello, I'm submitting PR https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4586 to deal with this. It adds a default delay of 5 seconds for disks to appear, so that we are sure OEMDRV, if present, is taken into account. The original behaviour can be restored through booting with `rd.disks_delay=0`. This is still work in progress, please comment in the PR for changes. Renaud. Tested with anaconda-34.25.3.1-1.el9. When inst.wait_for_disks=0 was present on the kernel cmdline, the problem could be reproduced occasionally. Without inst.wait_for_disks the installer waited ~5 seconds and then continued, as expected. The problem is no longer reproducible. Tested also inst.wait_for_disks=30, which waited ~30 seconds during the boot process. Marking as Verified:Tested Removing Verified:Tested, since a possible issue has been found and additional tests are running. Marking as Verified:Tested, no new problem was discovered during additional testing. (See RHEL-8 bug 1770969 for more info.) FYI, a new regression appeared, possibly caused by this change. See bug 2209599. *** Bug 2164324 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm moving this bug to VERIFIED, bug 2209599 has a fix and no regression has been found for this bug. This bug fix should be documented in the release notes. A doc text has been proposed in bug 1770969 for review. Once this is done, it can be copied to this bug as well. Setting needinfo on Sagar to copy the text here once it is approved. Also bug 2215506 was reported to document the new boot option in the installation guide. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (anaconda bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2023:6414 |
