1275546 – Dracut times out when trying to use livemedia-creator

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.

Description Alexander Todorov 2015-10-27 08:32:24 UTC

Description of problem:

# livemedia-creator --make-tar --iso=./boot.iso --ks=/var/www/html/rhel.ks --image-name=myhttpd-root.tar.xz

Dracut times out, as it seem before finding the installation media.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-033-358.el7.x86_64.rpm
lorax-19.6.66-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Execute # livemedia-creator --make-tar --iso=./boot.iso --ks=/var/www/html/rhel.ks --image-name=myhttpd-root.tar.xz
2. boot.iso is the latest available RHEL snapshot. The ks.cfg file doesn't seem to be relevant. Either way it is: 

install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp

rootpw  --lock
firewall --disabled
timezone Europe/Sofia

clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=1 --grow

zerombr
bootloader --location=mbr

%end

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2015-11-09 12:47:53 UTC

Please add "rd.debug" to the kernel cmdline and attach the rdsosreport.txt in this bugzilla. Thank you!

Comment 5 Alexander Todorov 2015-11-09 15:51:32 UTC

Created attachment 1091807 [details]
rdsosoreport.txt with rd.debug

Btw if I exit the dracut shell after the sos report is generated the installation continues to stage2 where it reaches "Collecting storage information" and then the VM dies instantly.

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2015-11-09 16:07:23 UTC

because of:

ip=eth0:dhcp: bootdev=eth0 

in /etc/cmdline.d/80-kickstart.conf which somehow is included in the initramfs, the boot waits for 'eth0' to appear, which it does not.

The interface is named 'ens3'.

Comment 7 Piotr Reclaw 2015-11-20 13:55:20 UTC

What is the culprit ?
I am unable to install it by UEFI.

Comment 8 Harald Hoyer 2015-11-20 14:16:20 UTC

reassigning to lorax, which included /etc/cmdline.d/80-kickstart.conf in the initrd.

Comment 9 Brian Lane 2015-11-20 19:42:28 UTC

The problem here is:

[    9.473956] dracut-cmdline[91]: Warning: Invalid value for 'inst.stage2': live:CDLABEL=RHEL-7.2\x20x86_64

not the network, although that may become a problem since using the wrong device in a network line will also cause problems.

I cannot reproduce this using the boot.iso from 11/3/2015 or from RHEL-7.2-20151015.0-Server-x86_64-boot.iso

You also have some problems with your partitioning:
 1. --size=1 is not recommended, it needs to be at least big enough to install the set of packages.
 2. Don't use --grow with lmc. It has to know the size of the disk to create for the VM to use so set a size with --size

I suspect you have a bad boot.iso or it isn't the one you think it is, dracut should have no problems with handling stage2=live:CDLABEL=


Here's the ks that worked for me:

install
url --url=http://repos/rhel7.2/Server/os
repo --name=optional --baseurl=http://repos/rhel7.2/Server/optional/os

lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network  --bootproto=dhcp --onboot=on --activate

rootpw  --lock
firewall --disabled
timezone Europe/Sofia
shutdown

clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=3000

zerombr
bootloader --location=mbr

%packages
httpd
%end


It is generally a good idea to start with the kickstart examples in /usr/share/docs/lorax*/ and modify them to suit your situation.

I got this the other day.  When i used UNetBootin i got those exact results.  When i used etcher I saw the error below but it then moved directly into the installer.
