drustan Aug 21 Hi all,

I’m trying to use Kickstart to install Rocky Linux 10, but I’m running into an issue during the partitioning step.

Here’s my current Kickstart configuration:

lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard fr timezone Europe/Paris –utc reboot text repo –name=”AppStream” –baseurl=”http://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/10/AppStream/x86_64/os/” cdrom network –onboot=yes –device=ens192 –bootproto=static –ip=10.0.1.105 –netmask=255.255.255.0 –noipv6 –gateway=10.0.1.1 –nameserver=9.9.9.9 –hostname=rockylinux10tpl –activate ignoredisk –only-use=sda zerombr clearpart –all –initlabel –drives=sda –disklabel=gpt bootloader –location=mbr –boot-drive=sda part biosboot –fstype=biosboot –size=1 –ondisk=sda part /boot/efi –fstype=”efi” –ondisk=sda –size=500 –asprimary part /boot –fstype=”xfs” –ondisk=sda –size=1024 –asprimary part pv.01 –fstype=”lvmpv” –ondisk=sda –size=1 –grow volgroup system pv.01 logvol / –fstype=”xfs” –vgname system –size=1024 –name=root logvol /usr –fstype=”xfs” –vgname system –size=6144 –name=usr logvol swap –vgname system –size=512 –name=swap1 logvol swap –vgname system –size=512 –name=swap2 logvol /tmp –fstype=”xfs” –vgname system –size=1024 –name=tmp logvol /var –fstype=”xfs” –vgname system –size=12288 –name=var authselect –passalgo=sha512 –useshadow selinux –permissive firewall –enabled –ssh skipx firstboot –disable eula –agreed rootpw $6$XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX –iscrypted user –name=ansible –groups=wheel –iscrypted –password=$6$XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX sshkey –username=ansible “ssh-ed25519 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”

Do you notice anything unusual in this configuration that could explain the issue?

Here are some relevant logs I can see in the tmux tabs during the installation :

Starting installer, one moment… libreport is not available in this environment - bug reporting disabled anaconda 40.20.1 for Rocky Linux 10.0 started.

installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
if the graphical installation interface fails to start, try again with the inst.text boot option to start text installation
when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text plain attachments 09:23:10 Not asking for remote desktop session because text mode was explicitly asked for in kickstart unknown Not asking for remote desktop session because of an automated install Starting automated install.Saving storage configuration… Checking storage configuration…
