RHEL 9 Installation Fails when STIG profile is selected
Issue
When installing RHEL 9 via network or CD-ROM, the installation fails during "Configuring kernel-core.x86_64" with the error message is "The following error occurred while installing the payload. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. DNF error: Error in POSTTRANS scriptlet in rpm package kernel-core".
The "DISA STIG with GUI" security profile is selected when installing from CD-ROM, when installing from network kickstart, the following is added to the kickstart:
"%addon com_redhat_oscap
content-type = scap-security-guide
datastream-id = scap_org.open-scap_datastream_from_xccdf_ssg-rhel9-xccdf.xml
xccdf-id = scap_org.open-scap_cref_ssg-rhel9-xccdf.xml
profile = xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig_gui
%end"
The installation completes successfully when not using a security profile.
