I just tried a kickstart setup for the first time since 7.3 and got an error similar to the error in this unresolved Fedora bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1278260
Has anyone successfully done a kickstart setup using 7.3 on x86_64? I'd imagine this is part of QA, so the answer is almost certainly "yes," but I'm not sure where to start debugging this. I got a working system by supplying the URL to the 7.2 release instead of the current URL.

I have with an http based ks file however my 7.2 based file had a sight partition blunder that went unnoticed and worked only in 7.2 whereas the 7.3 installation actually behaved as documented and paused.
I'm not sure where to start debugging this.
When you do get a procedure down for that, please share it:)

I tracked this down, eventually. Under RHEL/CentOS 7.2, the rootfs was limited to the size of available memory. Under 7.3, there's an artificial restriction of 50% of total system memory. The default size of a VM under "virt-manager" is 1G, which creates a ~500MB rootfs in the installer. That filesystem is too small to run the installation in most cases.
The documented minimum is still 1GB of RAM, but that's no longer sufficient to complete the installation of 7.3: https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-limits
I'm going to file a bug and ask Red Hat to document the new minimums.
