Error setting up base repository message while using kickstart

Latest response

I have a kickstart file I have created that is called during the installation of RHEL 8. I downloaded the RHEL 8.2 Binary DVD (7ish GB) file and double-checked it was not the boot file.

The file was previously used in RHEL 6 as well as RHEL 7 with no issues at all of the installation.

When RHEL 8 gets to the part where my kickstart sets up the partitions and packages to be installed automatically I get a message stating that there was an "Error setting up base repository". I dropped to the shell and saw that /mnt/install/source exists and that the repo exists in there as well and the RHEL 8 repo exist.

Seeing this I am confused why I am getting this error on RHEL 8.2 and RHEL 6.10 and RHEL 7.8 with the same kickstart setup does not raise any errors. I even used the RHEL 7 to RHEL 8 kickstart converter to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong in the kickstart.

The kickstart I am using and the creation of the RHEL DVD for the kickstart is the same as this (https://github.com/fcaviggia/hardening-script-el6-kickstart) just modified for RHEL 8.

Does anyone have any idea why this issue could be happening or a possible solution?
