I recently built my first CentOS kickstart config on a CentOS 7 system; it runs well, but the OS and its tools are old enough that it's causing pain with the apps I want to run on top of said system, so I'm trying to port it to CentOS 8.
I've taken the anaconda-ks.cfg file created from a successful manual install (of both regular 8 and Stream), placed it on my DVD ISO, and wrapped things back up like I was doing with CentOS 7. I'm successfully beginning the installation, but running into "Error setting up base repository" - despite having not touched either the filesystem structure of the ISO, or the generated kickstart file that points at my repos.
Here is the relevant config:
#version=RHEL8 # Use graphical install graphical
repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=file:///run/install/sources/mount-0000-cdrom/AppStream
I think you need to have a repo for every repository used including the baseOS one.. like
repo --name="BaseOS" --baseurl=file:///run/install/sources/mount-0000-cdrom/BaseOS
