This did not solve the problem.
OK remove that suggestion and try the following from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/Installation_Guide/sect-...
try adding the following to the kickstart
ignoredisk --only-use=nvme0n1

I am not familiar with this hardware, and a quick looks shows that
there are a lot of variations on the p620. However I did find
https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/ts_p620_redhat_enterprise...
and
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/pdf...
I haven't used multipath and hope some people who have better ideas
will chime in, but at this point I would see if passing the PXE kernel
boot a `nvme_core.multipath=N` helps any.
See attached files for more info.

Hi All,
I am having problems with a kickstart install of CentOS 8
When I try to do a completely automated install using PXE/UEFI it get to the point where it reads the kickstart config file.
Then I see the following message
"kickstart install Started cancel waiting for multipath siblings for nvme0n1"
The above says that the system thinks your box is multipath but the
other drives are not showing up correctly. You will need to provide a
lot more information for anyone to be able to help diagnosis this for
you:
What is the build system
What kind of drives/drive controller is it
What is the rest of the kickstart that might tell it that it is multipath?
What are the pxe/uefi boot options in case that is telling it to
try and probe for multipath that doesn't exist.
This is what I have in the kickstart file
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart --nohome --type=lvm --fstype=xfs
================
When I install from a USB drive it works OK and I have the following in /dev/disk/by-id

It's looks like that I am not doing the disk drive stuff in the config file correctly.
