Created attachment 524233 [details] kickstart Description of problem: Using the kickstart file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg generated by anaconda to install RHEL6U1 on a machine fails with the error : "Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Please verify its path and try again" Removing the following directive in the kickstart makes the installation work : repo --name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" --baseurl=cdrom:sr0 --cost=100 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL6U1 How reproducible: Systematic Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHEL6U1 using only the install DVD 2.Use the resulting kickstart /root/anaconda-ks.cfg to install another machine (again with the DVD) 3.The installation fails with the aforementioned error "Unable to read package metadata ..." Actual results: Using the kickstart file generated by anaconda results in an error during installation. Expected results: The kickstart file generated by anaconda results in a successful installation. Additional info: Attached : kickstart and anaconda.log
