Why does Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 anaconda fail to stat the kickstart downloaded from NFS source ?
Issue
- Need to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 using Kickstart file hosted on NFS server.
- The command to create a virtual machine is as follows.
# virt-install --name=test --graphics vnc --vcpus=6 --ram=4096 --disk path=/images/tesst.img,bus=virtio,size=20,format=qcow2,sparse=true --location=nfs:192.168.122.1:/images/install7.2 --extra-args="ks=nfs:192.168.122.1:/images/install7.2/ks_test.cfg lang=en_US keymap=us" --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel7 --virt-type kvm --hvm --noreboot
- The kickstart is downloaded but fails to get read by
anacondaas follows.
[ 11.227525] dracut-initqueue[536]: cp: cannot stat '/run/install/repo/ks_test.cfg/ks_test.cfg': Not a directory
[ 11.228573] dracut-initqueue[536]: Warning: failed to fetch kickstart from nfs:192.168.122.1:/images/install7.2/ks_test.cfg
- Is it a bug?
