Your command is missing crucial "-volid" parameter. Is this really a bug in mkisofs? Should the boot process work without explicitly setting proper volume ID? Does -volid solve your problem? (In reply to comment #2) > Your command is missing crucial "-volid" parameter. Is this really a bug in > mkisofs?

Weird, i can do this without volid for all of rhel5&rhel6 iso iamges, so i suppose that rhel7 can be use the same manner. Anyway, i am very appreciative of you help, thanks. See isolinux/isolinux.cfg: append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2= ... In RHEL7, volume ID must match with "inst.stage2=". RHEL5 and RHEL6 versions do not mention any "inst.stage2=". Do not ask me why. Dracut has changed, anaconda has changed, sysvinit/upstart/systemd has changed. Closing as NOTABUG. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. |
Created attachment 702620 [details] Installation system log Description of problem: The rhel7 dvd iso installation image made by mkisofs cannot be used for installation, the rhel7 installation progress will stopped to dracut interactive command line. No such problem with rhel5/rhel6 releases. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkisofs-2.01-10.7.el5 RHEL-7.0-20130222.0-Server-x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a standard rhel7 installation iso image(I built it by jigdo-lite and it can be used for installation). 2. Mount RHEL-7.0-20130222.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso to a temp directory. 3. Copy the content of the temp directory to a new temp directory. 4. Assign write permission to the files under isolinux directory. 5. Make bootable iso on the new temp dir with command: mkisofs -o ../rhel7-mkisofs.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T . actual result: The installation progress stopped to a dracut command line. expect result: The rhel7 can be installed successfully by the new iso image. additional info: Please check the attachment for installation system log.
