Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Second attempt using the very same configuration passed.
Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2018-11-29 08:46:38 UTC 
Hello Lukas,

Could you please try this a little bit more? If it is a race condition or the problem was fixed by something else in the process?

Also if you are able to reproduce it, could you please add logs from the installation. You can find them in /tmp/*.log.

Thank you.
Comment 3 Lukáš Doktor 2018-11-29 15:10:58 UTC 
Hello Jirko, I tried installing the same distro about 6-times without hitting this issue. I only filed this because installer asked me to do so and then it failed to attach the files so I guess there is no way in pursuing this matter. I think we should simply close this...
Comment 4 Jiri Konecny 2018-11-30 08:44:13 UTC 
Thank you for the info, in that case I'm closing this issue.
