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.

Comment 2 Gianluca Cecchi 2021-01-29 13:36:22 UTC 
I can reproduce it using ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.4-2020122111.el8.iso so I think an upstream clone bug could be created.
Comment 3 cshao 2021-02-02 08:51:24 UTC 
I can't reproduce this bug, did I miss some additional steps?

1. Installation RHVH via anaconda GUI.
2. Configure networking
3. Set 'timezone Asia/Shanghai --utc --ntpservers=clock02.util.phx2.redhat.com
4. Finish the installation without crash.
Comment 4 Ulhas Surse 2021-02-02 13:40:01 UTC 
Hi Cshao,

I was able to reproduce yesterday (see the screenshot) but suddenly now today, It is working fine. Strange! 
Let me ask in case also if this is still reproducible. I will ask for video.
Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-04-07 09:43:37 UTC 
Ulhas , Gianluca, can you still reproduce this?
Comment 7 Gianluca Cecchi 2021-04-09 08:37:45 UTC 
Hi, initially using the new image RHVH-4.4-20210202.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso I wasn't able to reproduce the error. But in a following installation I got the problem again, also with that iso.
I was not able to play with it deeply, but one possible scenario to reproduce it could be during installation going into time/date config and configure only the timezone and then exiting to the main menu. Then entering again in time/date option and try to set ntp and as soon as you try to type an hostname you get the problem.
Comment 8 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-04-13 16:52:26 UTC 
Moving to anaconda team for further investigations.

Hello,
can you please provide /tmp/anaconda-tb* from the installation environment?

This is most likely the same problem as reported in bug 1938168, but I would like to double check before closing this bug as a duplicate.
Bug 1938168 will be fixed in RHEL-8.4.
