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:


1. What is the build system

2. What kind of drives/drive controller is it

3. What is the rest of the kickstart that might tell it that it is multipath?

4. 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.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in

sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's

Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on  BBS...

time to reboot.
