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 2022-04-20 14:34:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
The installer prints an error when running a kickstart installation with the kickstart file on disk. Despite the error message, the kickstart file is successfully used for the installation, so it's not a blocking issue:

############## Installer errors encountered during boot ##############
unknown network kickstart URL: hd:disk/by-uuid/4bea3f40-e8f7-4990-be75-06f0cfd3ebf2:/192.168.122.236-1650464282


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-9.0
anaconda-34.25.0.29-1.el9_0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a kickstart file on a disk partition.
2. Use the kickstart file during the installation (inst.ks=hd:disk/by-uuid/<UUID>:/<FILENAME>).

Actual results:
An error on the console. The kickstart file is successfully used.

Expected results:
No errors related to kickstart.

Additional info:
The error is displayed also in case of "inst.ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" on the kernel cmdline (see bug 2178281):
"unknown network kickstart URL: cdrom:/ks.cfg"
Comment 3 Jiri Konecny 2022-05-06 08:52:39 UTC 
Based on my quick look on the code it seems that we are always running fetch-kickstart-net and also fetch-kickstart-disk. The issue is that we are not able to find (correctly) the kickstart in the fetch-kickstart-net and warn user.

This seems to be just a cosmetic bug where we should look on the command line parameter and if there is prefix `hd:` then we should ignore the fetch-kickstart-net script.
Comment 5 Jiri Kortus 2022-12-01 15:15:44 UTC 
Not sure if I hit the same bug, but the symptoms look similar, with the difference that in my case boot ends up in dracut emergency shell. This happens in our test where an ISO made by osbuild-composer is booted via UEFI HTTP boot. I'll attach rdsosreport, so that you can have a look if there's the same underlying cause or this is something different.
Comment 7 Jan Stodola 2022-12-05 12:50:11 UTC 
Jirko, I found the following arguments on the kernel command line from comment 6, which look somehow incorrect:
... inst.updates=http://srv/anabot.img anabot=http://srv/default-partitioning.xml ...

Also "inst.ks=hd:LABEL=RHEL-9-2-0-BaseOS-x86_64:/osbuild.ks" is present twice on the kernel cmdline.

This is happening also for inst.ks=cdrom.
