RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
I am attempting a kickstart install of CentOS 6 using media that is mounted via HP's ilo virtual drive redirection on an HP DL360G7 server. The kickstart file is on the cdrom.
When mounted this way (virtual drive redirection) I always get a dialog box that appears saying it can't find the kickstart file on the cd. It then asks me to specify again where the kickstart file is. Without changing anything I hit ok and it finds the kickstart file on the cdrom the second try.
This is happening because the virtual drive is not quite ready yet when the getDevices(DEVICE_CDROM) function is run within kickstartFromCD() which is a part of the cdinstall.c file. If I add a sleep(5) right in front of the call to getDevices(DEVICE_CDROM) then the install is 100% non-interactive.
Can we work on getting a fix to this into anaconda? sleep(5) works, but might not be the best solution.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.82-1.el6.centos.1.x86_64.rpm
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build Media with custom kickstart embedded on cdrom
2.Mount the media using virtual drive redirection functionality of HP iLO3.
3.Start install.
4. Observe that the install prompts user for location of kickstart.
Actual results:
Install prompts user for locations of kickstart.
Expected results:
Completely non-interactive install.
Additional info:
This only seems to happen on iLO3 (the specific hardware does not seem to matter). It was a problem in RHEL 5 as well.
