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.

Fixed In Version: scap-security-guide-0.1.40-3.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Mountpoint /dev/cdrom is falsely considered valid partition. That means there is request to have separate /dev/cdrom partition. In case of specifying /dev/cdrom as a partition, installation will fail at the start with traceback. Consequence: It is not possible to install these four profiles: * C2S for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 * United States Government Configuration Baseline * Unclassified Information in Non-federal Information Systems and Organizations (NIST 800-171) * DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Workaround (if any): Simplest approach is to install scap-security-guide-0.1.40-2.el7, then with command `sed '/^part </d' /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml > cdrom_workaround.xml` generate fixed datastream. Put it somewhere network accessible, and then in the OAA dialog select this content. Result: Workarounded installation will proceed without any side effects.

Description Marek Haicman 2018-08-17 18:33:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
When trying hardened installation through anaconda, four of the profiles request /dev/cdrom to be on separate partition. That's definitely not expected behaviour. Without satisfying this requirement, user cannot proceed with installation. Unfortunately, this cannot be workarounded by creating /dev/cdrom partition in anaconda GUI

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.40-2.el7

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to install hardened system using aforementioned scap-security-guide
2. pick one of these profiles: C2S, United States Government Configuration Baseline, NIST 800-171, DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
3. look at warning at the bottom of OAA spoke

Actual results:
/dev/cdrom is requested, without that user cannot continue with installation. With /dev/cdrom specified, anaconda crashes right at the start of the installation itself.

Expected results:
/dev/cdrom is not requested as a mountpoint
