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.

Why is /run/anaconda/initrd_errors.txt (and /run/anaconda) missing?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not sure, whatever comes with Satellite 6.11 / RHEL 9

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
Run provisioning

Actual results:
Dropped to emergency shell

Expected results:
The actual error is shown

Additional info:
The failed installation is tracked in support ticket 03333044 and bug 2138320 but the missing initrd_errors.txt might be a general problem, masking the actual problem.

I also filed a bug with dracut but they referred me to you guys:

Comment 5 Pavel Valena 2023-06-27 16:13:54 UTC 
I've checked the log, and as already mentioned in the duplicate bug, these all seem to be just warnings. The cause of the failure is kickstart timeout -- So either it took much long than expected (you can raise the timeout), or the kickstart has stuck/failed on some point. It would be best to follow up on that path first (i.e. starting with some minimal kickstart and seeing if that fails, and in what conditions).

As mentioned in https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues/2047#issuecomment-1342764207 it's most probably not a dracut issue; it might be anaconda (dracut) module issue, but it would be very hard to procceed without reproducer.
Comment 6 Torkil Svensgaard 2023-06-28 07:01:32 UTC 
I haven't seen the issue after upgrading the operating system used by the satellite installer from 9.0 to 9.1. Same kickstart files.
Comment 7 Jiri Konecny 2023-06-29 09:19:44 UTC 
Not fixed in the code so your issue was probably suppressed by something else.

Anyway the upstream fix is available here: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4665
