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 Raini Hixon 2014-06-15 19:11:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing RHEL 7 Workstation, if you select Development and Creative Workstation and then select Additional Libraries, the install will fail with unable to install bootloader.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7 Workstation DVD

How reproducible:
I originally had selected 7 options from the Development and Creative Workstation list.  I was able to divide and conquer and figure out which option was causing the issue over the course of 8 installs.  So it is reproducible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot RHEL 7 Workstation install DVD and go into package selection
2.  Select Development and Creative Workstation
3.  On the right side, select Additional Libraries and do the install

Actual results:
Eventually, You will get an install failed dialog, which indicates that it failed to install the bootloader

Expected results:
Installed system ready for use.

Raini Hixon,
could you please attach logs from the installation after getting the error dialog?

Press Ctrl+Alt+F2, copy /tmp/*log files to another machine (using scp) or copy them to a flash disk and attach them to this bug.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce this issue.

Thank you,
Jan
