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 Jan Stodola 2021-08-31 13:40:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
When the installer starts in text mode, the "Root password" spoke is marked as complete, although it's not (because root account or an admin user are required to begin the installation):

1) Start VNC
2) Use text mode

Please make a selection from the above ['c' to continue, 'q' to quit, 'r' to
refresh]: 2
================================================================================

3) [!] Installation source               4) [!] Software selection
       (Processing...)                          (Processing...)
5) [!] Installation Destination          6) [x] Kdump
       (Processing...)                          (Kdump is enabled)
7) [x] Network configuration             8) [x] Root password
       (Wired (enp1s0) connected)               (Root account is disabled.)
9) [!] User creation
       (No user will be created)

Please make a selection from the above ['b' to begin installation, 'q' to quit,
'r' to refresh]:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-9.0.0-20210830.8
anaconda-34.25.0.15-1.el9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start installation in text mode

Actual results:
...
7) [x] Network configuration             8) [x] Root password
       (Wired (enp1s0) connected)               (Root account is disabled.)
9) [!] User creation
       (No user will be created)


Expected results:
...
7) [x] Network configuration             8) [!] Root password
       (Wired (enp1s0) connected)               (Root account is disabled.)
9) [!] User creation
       (No user will be created)

When the root password is set or when an administrator user is created, the installation can be started.
