Created attachment 567547 [details] install.log More investigation is ongoing. (1) The guest image is bootable without run grub2-intall case (2) Tried grub2-intall case in rescue mode and normal mode: tried with matrix (file+tap:aio) * (xvda + hda), all results are same: #grub2-intall /dev/xvda Installation finished. No error reported (3) there is a install.log in guest /root (attached) with following interesting messages: grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries. Not writing out new config. *** FINISHED INSTALLING PACKAGES ***
Created attachment 568190 [details] rhel7-install-bootloader-hang.png The same problem (install bootloader hang) found with build of RHEL-7.0-20120305.0 iso. Screenshot attached for reference.
Please attach log files as individual, uncompressed attachments. Doing anything else prevents us from later searching bugzilla. Thanks.
The problem can not be reproduced when installing with DVD iso by using the build RHEL7.0-20120314.0, which contains the anaconda-16.25.4-4.el7 with the fixes #801479. Mark it CLOSED.
