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 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810 -> ../../nvme0n1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d -> ../../nvme0n1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part3 -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 lvm-pv-uuid-5Dg4mg-saHa-hJJ6-n5a8-MxBS-gdFi-5jPoNn -> ../../nvme0n1p3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part2 UNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-0-> ../../nvme0n1p2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part2 -> ../../nvme0n1p2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part2 -> ../../nvme0n1p2 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 400 Jul 5 10:28 . lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 wwn-eui.002538b11102f46d-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-SAMSUNG_MZVL2512HCJQ-00BL7_S64KNE0R161810-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jul 5 10:28 nvme-eui.002538b11102f46d-part1 -> ../../nvme0n1p1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkKtEdtLjwJQyIdxJcSvPv8TEAjwYGMv6yU -> ../../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkKAooqrczySYJyiHvUAUji9oScPN2cVi7J -> ../../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-swap -> ../../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-root -> ../../dm-0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-uuid-LVM-qQok4M7AOo1TxZZ42GwZcbuVNBs0hnkK5HZXbR2ow5xKGuD7jVe4UPzZm2qRLLXI -> ../../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jul 5 11:07 dm-name-cs_uews027-home -> ../../dm-2 It's looks like that I am not doing the disk drive stuff in the config file correctly. -- Gerard Hooton.
