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"

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.
