I'm having an issue with the RHEL 8.1 kickstart via NFS:

NFS share: 192.168.x.x:/export/nfs/kickstart/rhel8

Kickstart File: 192.168.x.x:/export/nfs/kickstart/rhel8/ks.cfg

It appears that Anaconda(?) is mounting the NFS directory locally under /run/install/repo -- I can check that the mount is there and all files on the NFS share are available at that location. However, Anaconda seems to be looking for the ks.cfg file at /run/install/repo/ks.cfg/ks.cfg (Yes, there is an extra "ks.cfg" in the path)

Is anyone else getting this issue kickstarting via NFS? If so, does anyone know of a workaround or fix?

You can try creating directory called ks.cfg on the NFS and moving the file there. You might want to check for an unnecessary "/" in specifying your path somewhere.

  • I have tried a dozen different filenames, a dozen different ways, and the kickstart always looks for "/run/install/repo//" when using the boot option "inst.ks=nfs::/nfs_share_path/" I did as you suggested -- put ks.cfg in a directory named ks.cfg and it did find it withhout modifying my inst.ks path. So - workaround works. Thanks! I think this is a bug in the RHEL8.1 kickstart, though. – J. Selman Jan 28 '20 at 17:09

According to RH tech support, it's an issue described in the following article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3938501

I will change my kickstart to use a separate directory and see if it works.
