Comment 2 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-27 06:25:57 UTC 
Please remove the quite kernel argument and reboot the machine, then we see the exact cause.
Comment 3 Nelly Credi 2015-07-27 07:18:39 UTC 
these are the only params im passing:
storage_init=/dev/sda console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200n8

yesterday I also sent firstboot, but didnt help
Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-27 07:51:29 UTC 
Right, then please try adding debug as a keyword.
Comment 5 Chaofeng Wu 2015-07-27 15:48:45 UTC 
Due to the physical env insufficient, we provision RHEVH6.7-20150717 with the following steps on libvirt + PXE + Foreman-1.8.2 env, and we cannot reproduce this kernel panic issue.

1. Download the RHEVH6.7 iso, run the command: livecd-iso-to-pxeboot rhev-hypervisor6-6.7-20150717.0.iso
2. Copy the tftpboot dir to /var/lib/, copy the /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default content as a provisioning template rhevh67-20150717
3. Setup a new host in Foreman with rhevh67-20150717 provisioning template, and boot the new host.

Finally, the system boot up as usual and can install RHEVH6.7 successful.
Comment 6 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-29 12:34:06 UTC 
Closing this, according to nelly this can not be reproduced with the 0728 build.
Comment 7 Nelly Credi 2015-07-29 14:43:33 UTC 
I wouldnt say 'not a bug' something was wrong and we were unable to install 0717, but yes it is now working with 0728
Comment 8 Fabian Deutsch 2015-07-29 14:53:57 UTC 
To me it looked like a corrupted initrd.
The kernel trace indicated this, and a recreated initrd had a different size.
