The problem is only in the latest anaconda, and from bug 2171811, so set "Regression" keyword. I've attached debugging logs to the RHEL-8 bug 2209602. Proposing this bug fox fixing in 9.3, otherwise bug 2171811 needs to be reverted. bug 2193332 might be a duplicate of this issue *** Bug 2211011 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Retested with anaconda-34.25.3.3-1.el9 and this problem is fixed there, the kickstart file is loaded and the installation continues. When inst.ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg is present on the kernel cmdline and no such a medium is present, the boot process is paused until a medium with ks.cfg is inserted, then the boot process continues. No regression was found when re-testing bug 2171811 with OEMDRV-labeled medium. Marking as Verified:Tested. Checked that anaconda-34.25.3.3-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.3.0-20230619.35 Moving to VERIFIED 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.

Description of problem: When trying to install a kvm VM, I save the ks.cfg into a cdrom named ks.iso, and append kernel params "inst.repo=cdrom inst.ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" in the qemu command line, after the VM is started, the anaconda installer cannot be launched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): distro: RHEL-9.3.0-20230523.0-aarch64-dvd1.iso anaconda: anaconda-34.25.3.1-1.el9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VM with qemu-kvm and contains following lines: -blockdev '{"node-name": "file_cd1", "driver": "file", "auto-read-only": true, "discard": "unmap", "aio": "threads", "filename": "/home/kvm_autotest_root/iso/linux/RHEL-9.3.0-20230523.0-aarch64-dvd1.iso", "cache": {"direct": true, "no-flush": false}}' \ -blockdev '{"node-name": "drive_cd1", "driver": "raw", "read-only": true, "cache": {"direct": true, "no-flush": false}, "file": "file_cd1"}' \ -device '{"driver": "scsi-cd", "id": "cd1", "drive": "drive_cd1", "write-cache": "on"}' \ -blockdev '{"node-name": "file_unattended", "driver": "file", "auto-read-only": true, "discard": "unmap", "aio": "threads", "filename": "/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/rhel930-aarch64/ks.iso", "cache": {"direct": true, "no-flush": false}}' \ -blockdev '{"node-name": "drive_unattended", "driver": "raw", "read-only": true, "cache": {"direct": true, "no-flush": false}, "file": "file_unattended"}' \ -device '{"driver": "scsi-cd", "id": "unattended", "drive": "drive_unattended", "write-cache": "on"}' \ -kernel '/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/rhel930-aarch64/vmlinuz' \ -append 'inst.sshd inst.repo=cdrom inst.ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg net.ifnames=0 inst.wait_for_disks=30 console=ttyAMA0,38400' \ -initrd '/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/rhel930-aarch64/initrd.img' \ 2.

Actual results: anaconda cannot find the ks.cfg in the cdrom, the installer failed to be launched. Expected results: the installer can be launched. Additional info: 1. By default, "inst.wait_for_disks=5", if I add "inst.wait_for_disks=0", the problem is gone. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Reached target ^[[0;1;39mSystem Initialization^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Started ^[[0;1;39mDaily Cleanup of Temporary Directories^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Reached target ^[[0;1;39mTimer Units^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Listening on ^[[0;1;39mD-Bus System Message Bus Socket^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Listening on ^[[0;1;39mOpen-iSCSI iscsid Socket^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Listening on ^[[0;1;39mOpen-iSCSI iscsiuio Socket^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Reached target ^[[0;1;39mSocket Units^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mD-Bus System Message Bus^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Started ^[[0;1;39mD-Bus System Message Bus^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: [^[[0;32m OK ^[[0m] Reached target ^[[0;1;39mBasic System^[[0m. 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mAnaconda NetworkManager configuration^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mNetworkManager auda installation environment^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mpre-anaconda logging service^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mRestore /run/initramfs on shutdown^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mHold until boot process finishes up^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mTerminate Plymouth Boot Screen^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mSystem Logging Service^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mOpenSSH ecdsa Server Key Generation^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mOpenSSH ed25519 Server Key Generation^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mOpenSSH rsa Server Key Generation^[[0m... 2023-05-24 04:01:49: Starting ^[[0;1;39mUser Login Management^[[0m... ... ... 2023-05-24 04:01:57: * shell is available on TTY2 2023-05-24 04:01:57: * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments 2023-05-24 04:02:12: Queued start job for default target Main User Target. 2023-05-24 04:02:12: Startup finished in 404ms. 2.
