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 Marian Csontos 2015-12-07 14:13:26 UTC
Description of problem:
A failed kickstart installation displays UI trimming the most useful part of python exception.

Looks nice but is useless when:
- installing from kickstart - where all I have is dead console in the file.
- running in beaker where job will be killed on time out and the machine recycled.

I guess this has potential to be highly annoying for many admins.

Is there a workaround not requiring one to rerun the job, and with until it starts just to capture the trace?

Configuration:

I have 2 consoles specified on kernel cmdline: "console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200"
None of them contains useful exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
13.21.229 (in rhel-6.8 nightly 20151202)

How reproducible:
Being a design decision presume 100% reproducibility.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kickstart installation, using text installation. provide ks containing some error.
I guess in my case it has something to do with simple clear text password in the ks.

Actual results:
UI on console trimming the most useful part of the traceback.

Expected results:
Full trace must be provided at least when installing from kickstart.

Comment 2 Marian Csontos 2015-12-07 15:35:19 UTC
Is this a rel-eng issue? Why is this ancient version used? Is the compose wrong?

Bug 1182595 mentions 13.21.230.
