fc29 net install stuck on grub prompt after net install on ppc64le Try a net install on a ppc64le guest; the install seems to properly work in anaconda until completion, but after reboot the console is stuck at grub prompt. If I try a grub exit, a short error msg is displayed and switch back to grub. === grub menu: Reboot Exit to Open Firmware <= selected that one Use the ^ and v keys to change the selection. Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt. Press Escape to return to the previous menu. === W3411: Client application returned. E3406: Client application returned an error.

* using "Rescue a Fedora System" was able to mount installed disk and retrieve from /var/log the anaconda logs * in anaconda.log there was a reported ERR about "failed to recreate path" * in journal.log same failed action but program still return code: 0 So not sure this is the cause of failure at reboot time. * I will attach the two logs. === extract anaconda.log 08:11:55,786 INF installation: Task started: Install bootloader (17/18) 08:11:55,788 INF bootloader: boot loader stage1 target device is sda1 08:11:55,788 INF bootloader: boot loader stage2 target device is sda2 08:11:55,864 DBG bootloader: new default image: <pyanaconda.bootloader.LinuxBootLoaderImage object at 0x7fff81c78e10> 08:11:55,866 ERR bootloader: failed to recreate path to default kernel image 08:11:56,148 DBG bootloader: updateNVRAMBootList: self.stage1_device.path = /dev/sda1 === extract journal.log Jan 24 08:11:55 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: installation: Task started: Install bootloader (17/18) Jan 24 08:11:55 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: bootloader: boot loader stage1 target device is sda1 Jan 24 08:11:55 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: bootloader: boot loader stage2 target device is sda2 Jan 24 08:11:55 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: bootloader: new default image: <pyanaconda.bootloader.LinuxBootLoaderImage object at 0x7fff81c78e10> Jan 24 08:11:55 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: bootloader: failed to recreate path to default kernel image Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost anaconda[3679]: anaconda: bootloader: updateNVRAMBootList: self.stage1_device.path = /dev/sda1 Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost anaconda[3679]: program: Running... nvram --print-config=boot-device Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost audit[3667]: AVC avc: denied { read } for pid=3667 comm=746D75783A20736572766572 path="/dev/ptmx" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1106 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ptmx_t:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=1 Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost audit[3667]: SYSCALL arch=c0000015 syscall=145 success=yes exit=71 a0=b a1=7fffd67f14f8 a2=1 a3=3d0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=3667 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=746D75783A20736572766572 exe="/usr/bin/tmux" subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 key=(null) Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost audit: PROCTITLE proctitle=2F7573722F62696E2F746D7578002D75002D66002F7573722F73686172652F616E61636F6E64612F746D75782E636F6E66007374617274 Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost anaconda[3679]: program: Jan 24 08:11:56 localhost anaconda[3679]: program: Return code: 0 ===

There is no such problem, if trying a net install of fc28.
may be same cause when trying to use fc29 Cloud qcow2, that passed with 20190122 image and failed (same grub prompt) with 20190123 image. === https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/cloud/Fedora-Cloud-29-20190122.0/compose/Cloud/ppc64le/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-29-20190122.0.ppc64le.qcow2 passed https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/cloud/Fedora-Cloud-29-20190123.0/compose/Cloud/ppc64le/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-29-20190123.0.ppc64le.qcow2 failed ===
Having the same problem installing fedora 29 through the net installer on a thinkpad T480. The text based installer appears to be broken on all systems.
There doesn't seem to be any update to grub2 after the F-29 GA, but there was an update to anaconda. But the change seems completely unrelated.
