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.

Do the versions of the kernel and initrd you are using to boot match? Can you attach the installer log files from /tmp?

Hi David,

1. Yes, they match.
kernel : http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.1-20141127.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz                                                     
initrd : http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.1-20141127.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd

2. I have already attached all files under /tmp/ in the description.
Could you check it again?

Thanks.

No, they don't. The vmlinuz file is 3.10.0-206.el7.x86_64. The initrd contains modules for 3.10.0-205.el7.x86_64.

Comment 8 Jeroen van Aart 2017-12-30 00:37:30 UTC 
I can confirm this is again a problem on rhel 7.4.

We have to use kernel images from the 7.2 dvd iso to work around it. So I can confirm that this is not a problem on 7.2.

When I download rhel-workstation-7.4-x86_64-dvd.iso and copy the files:

images/pxeboot/initrd.img
images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

To my pxeboot server and then try to do a network install the crash happens in almost the exact same way. In this case it happens when choosing a fully automated install. If using a manual install it will at least boot into a gui where you can choose the device, partition the drive(s) etc. I did not test further than that.

The key phrase being:

"ValueError: new value non-existent xfs filesystem is not valid as a default fs type"

It does not matter whether your install chooses xfs filesystem or not.
Comment 9 Vendula Poncova 2018-01-02 12:47:25 UTC 
Please, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/697913

You should use initrd.img, vmlinuz and the repository (or stage2) from the same media or location.
