Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2021:4702 0 None None None 2021-11-16 14:13:17 UTC

Description Kenny Tordeurs 2021-08-17 08:08:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
The vmlinuz and initrd are always 0 size when being created.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.10.0-0.6.beta.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
On my env 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync RHEL 7.9 kickstart on_demand
2. Create a host
3. Build fails, vmlinuz and initrd are 0 size

Actual results:
[root@ktordeur-testathon boot]# ls -ltr
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 foreman-proxy foreman-proxy 0 Aug 17 09:59 red-hat-enterprise-linux-7-server-kickstart-x86_64-7-9-41-vmlinuz
-rw-r--r--. 1 foreman-proxy foreman-proxy 0 Aug 17 09:59 red-hat-enterprise-linux-7-server-kickstart-x86_64-7-9-41-initrd.img


Expected results:
The files to be generated correctly

Additional info:
Removing the files, resyncing the repo and redoing the build ends up with 0 size again.
Comment 1 Kenny Tordeurs 2021-08-17 12:43:46 UTC 
Default Organization View is being used if that information is important.
Comment 2 Kenny Tordeurs 2021-08-18 07:28:17 UTC 
Also attempted to sync with immediate, remove boot files, however they are still re-generated as 0 size files.
This is a blocker for provisioning to work.
Comment 3 Jan Jansky 2021-08-18 07:31:31 UTC 
I had reproduced the same, before first sync i set kickstart repositories to download policy immediate, synchronized, published and promoted CV, when i created host new vmlinuz and initrd files was created, but both have 0 size as below

# ls -al /var/lib/tftpboot/boot/
total 4

Comment 4 Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-08-18 15:53:36 UTC 
This bug seems to be connected with BZ1992329.

The workaround for this bug is to set 'Mirror on Sync' to 'No' for the kickstart repo and resync it, cancel build of the host and Build the host again.
Comment 5 Sayan Das 2021-08-19 08:04:44 UTC 
This is what I found:

* Enable RHEL 8 BaseOS kickstart and sync it. Result: 404 not found for vmlinuz and initrd

So hoping that if I create a host now and Submit it for build , I should have no problem getting the good vmlinuz and initrd files.

And confirming that, I can see good files now.

So I haven't changed anything else for the enabled repo config but simple did "Complete Sync" which is sync by skipping metadata check
Comment 7 Justin Sherrill 2021-08-19 13:29:24 UTC 
This is likely a duplicate of this bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992329
Comment 8 Tanya Tereshchenko 2021-08-19 20:01:45 UTC 
I agree that the root cause is the same as in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992329 but suggest to keep it for QE testing.
Comment 9 Daniel Alley 2021-08-22 02:53:13 UTC 
Agreed that this is duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992329

However, after fixing ^^ upstream so that it no longer 404s, I still notice some weirdness with these two files.  Therefore I suggest keeping it open until we finish investigating this new (potential, unconfirmed) issue.
Comment 10 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2021-08-23 21:06:56 UTC 
The Pulp upstream bug status is at NEW. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
Comment 11 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2021-08-23 21:06:57 UTC 
The Pulp upstream bug priority is at High. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
Comment 12 Mike McCune 2021-08-24 16:29:24 UTC 
The workaround for this may be the same as in 1992329:

"Workaround is to set 'Mirror on Sync' to 'No' for the kickstart repo and resync it (then the missing files are synced properly). Consequential Capsule sync succeeds."
Comment 13 Sayan Das 2021-08-24 16:31:51 UTC 
For me, Simply doing a "Complete Sync" fixed the issue as well as I had mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1994275#c5 .

I hadn't faced any issues with host deployment after doing so.
Comment 14 Daniel Alley 2021-08-24 16:40:05 UTC 
There's a separate issue that results in trouble downloading these two files for some clients, I'm not sure if Anaconda would be impacted or not.  If it does, there is a workaround, which is to download the file with wget (from Pulp), after which it works fine.
Comment 15 Justin Sherrill 2021-08-24 17:03:58 UTC 
Daniel, Katello actually fetches those files manually at sync time already to work around some issues from long ago
Comment 16 Tanya Tereshchenko 2021-08-24 17:19:23 UTC 
Justin, thanks for clarification, then taking into consideration your comment#15, this BZ should be resolved with just https://pulp.plan.io/issues/9270

Comment 18 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2021-08-24 21:07:18 UTC 
All upstream Pulp bugs are at MODIFIED+. Moving this bug to POST.
Comment 19 pulp-infra@redhat.com 2021-08-24 22:08:17 UTC 
The Pulp upstream bug status is at CLOSED - CURRENTRELEASE. Updating the external tracker on this bug.
