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.

Please add "rd.debug" to the kernel command line and remove "rhgb" and post the logs again. Thank you!

From rdsosreport attached, looks like it includes the rd.debug, Am I missing any step?

initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20160913.0 rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image rd.live.check crashkernel=256M rd_NO_MULTIPATH rootflags=ro elevator=deadline install rd.shell rd.debug max_loop=256 rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0  BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz0 

Thanks!

Harold,

I have build RHEV-H 7.3 based on RHEL 7.3 and still the same issue when booting via USB the iso. Now we have attached logs from 7.2 and 7.3, please let me know if you need any additional data.

Thanks!

Does it help, if you add "nompath" to the kernel command line?

Yes.

It looks like this is the all famous multipath bug we see with vintage RHEV-H.

We have seen it several times before. It can not be fixed with vintage RHEV-H, because vintage RHEV-H contains a specific multipath.conf created by vdsm which is causing this issue.
