VM provisioning issues on KVM (Satellite 6.6)

Latest response

Hi all,

environment: local dev lab running on laptop
host: fedora 32 >>> kvm
guest: rhel7.8 | satellite 6.6

Scenario: attempting to deploy a VM (rhel 8.1) using satellite
Issue: vm gets deployed, pxe boots, connects to satellite, starts to download packages but then at around 43% - 49% it stops the download process.

Findings:
I then create a host, populate the appropriate fields and deploy vm. It appears instantly on virt-manager (I have not configure console=ttyS0 on tftp file for vm to follow at the terminal console).

log: /var/log/httpd/foreman_access.log shows the packages being downloaded up to the point when it fails following VM console...

pxe configuration for the VM

# This file was deployed via 'Kickstart default PXELinux clone' template

I am attaching a screenshot of the VM console showing the error message.

I believe I should concentrate on foreman logs, but wondering which other logs do you suggest me to look into to.

I would appreciate comments so I could debug this issue.

Thanks in advance...
