Actual results: Anaconda stops on the Report/Debug/Quit screen Expected results: Installation should proceed. Additional info: Kickstart disk options: ignoredisk --only-use=vda zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=vda autopart Output: Generating updated storage configuration storage configuration failed: vda may not have enough space for grub2 to embed core.img when using the xfs filesystem on partition ================================================================================ ================================================================================ Installation 1) [x] Installation source 2) [x] Timezone settings (http://download.eng.brq.redhat (America/Chicago timezone) .com/pub/rhel/nightly/latest-RH 4) [x] Set root password EL-7/compose/Server/x86_64/os) (Password is set.) 3) [!] Install Destination 6) [x] Software selection (No disks selected) (Custom software selected) 5) [x] Create user (No user will be created) 7) [x] Network settings (Wired eth0 connected) ** (anaconda:778): WARNING **: Could not open X display An unknown error has occured, look at the /tmp/anaconda-tb* file(s) for more details =============================================================================== An unknown error has occurred =============================================================================== anaconda 19.31.14-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/tui/hubs/summary.py", line 60, in prompt raise RuntimeError(errtxt) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/tui/simpleline/base.py", line 345, in _mainloop prompt = last_screen.prompt(self._screens[-1][1]) RuntimeError: Can't have a question in command line mode! What do you want to do now? 1) Report Bug 2) Debug 3) Quit Please make your choice from above: Something went wrong (tm) Cannot continue. Aborting. I am failing to get any meaningful output out of it.
Can you attach the log files from /tmp after this occurs? Is there any existing data on /dev/vda?
