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.

How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7.3Alpha on target server via PXE server;

Installation failed.
Expected results:
Installation success.
Additional info:
PXE server is normal, because we could install RHEL7.2 based on same target server.
Hello Lenovo,
Please attach the anaconda logs from the failed install.
Please confirm if this system was able to be installed on RHEL 7.2?
Thank You

Hi Joe,
Please tell us how to get anaconda logs? I have uploaded PXE installation failed logs as attachemnt, isn't it enough to get the root cause?
Thanks
Hello,
From the system being pxe installed:
Run:
systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service > initrd-switch-root.service.txt
journalctl > journalctl.txt
Please attach to the ticket:
/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt
initrd-switch-root.service.txt
journalctl.txt
Thank You
Joe Kachuck
Today we have reconfigured our pxe image server, and after that this issue couldn't be reproduced.
Sorry for this false-alarm, it is really strange because RHEL7.2 could be installed correct from beginning to end.
Thanks,
Huaisheng
