Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why does RHEL7 Kickstart installation crashes with abrt error if just --encrypted is mentioned with partitioning information?
  • On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, anaconda would prompt for the passphrase which was acceptable, however having to have the clear text password in the kickstart is not optimal since it is accessible via the network.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0
  • Kickstart Installation.
