Comment 1 Thom Carlin 2015-11-17 11:22:43 UTC
Problem occurs in post-installation steps (os-prober/grub2-mkconfig).

RHCS-I (Sat 6) ISO appears to install OK, testing launch-fusor-installer now

Comment 2 Thom Carlin 2015-11-17 12:02:31 UTC
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282599 complicates testing Sat6 ISO.

Comment 3 Jason Montleon 2015-11-17 12:26:05 UTC
If it's happening in post installation we might just be missing a package or packages. I'll take a look and see if I can sort it out.

Comment 4 Jason Montleon 2015-11-18 19:43:28 UTC
I don't know why yet, but it's trying to write grub.cfg in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora instead of redhat. Still investigating.

Comment 5 Jason Montleon 2015-11-18 20:33:12 UTC
The product title needs to start with Red Hat, otherwise anaconda guesses it is Fedora. As we have it set to RHEL OSP Undercloud that's why it's breaking. I am spinning a new ISO with it changed to Red Hat OSP Undercloud until they decide what they want it to be that will also satisfy anaconda.

Comment 7 Thom Carlin 2015-11-19 13:06:47 UTC
Verified in 20151118.t.3.

Please note that the system I tested on was a Dell.  The reboot said "No boot device available" when boot mode was set to BIOS.

It worked fine when boot mode was set to UEFI.  May be worth doc text.
