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.
Description of problem:
After starting the installation with inst.repo= on the kernel command line and registering to CDN in the installer UI, anaconda re-downloads metadata and forces the user to visit the Software Selection spoke: "Source changed - please verify".
But when inst.repo= is present on the kernel command line, the installation source should not change after registering to CDN, so there is no reason to re-download the metadata and forcing the user to visit the Software Selection spoke.
See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/performing_a_standard_rhel_installation/graphical-installation_graphical-installation#how-the-default-installation-repo-works-in-cdn_connect-to-red-hat
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.3.0-20200728.n.0
anaconda-33.16.3.14-1
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start graphical installation, add inst.repo= (and inst.addrepo=) on the kernel command line
2. Register to CDN
3. Return to the main hub
Actual results:
Anaconda re-download the metadata and asks the user to visit the Software Selection spoke to verify the software selection.
Expected results:
Since the installation source is not expected to be changed in this use case, anaconda should not force the user to visit the Software Selection spoke. I also do not see a reason to re-download metadata if the source is not changed to CDN.
Additional info:
The same problem happens after un-registering from CDN, it is also necessary to visit the Software Selection spoke, although the installation source has not changed.
