Details about issue

I try to install Oracle Linux 8 U4 with kickstart autoinstall (i also try U2m but same result) but i get this every time this error:

It seems that a spelling error in kickstart configuration... i use a wizard generated kickstart config and only set the activation key, all other parameter is default.

I also use kickstart autoinstallation with Centos7, but with that system is working well.

@vampywiz17 : which kickstart skript are you using ?
could you please provide the whole logfile.

@Shirocco88

I dont know, where the log that i able to help you investigate the probem.

[vampywiz17]

@Shirocco88

Now i try with Rocky Linux 8 and Centos 8. Same error...

[sbluhm]

@vampywiz17 , I believe that all required files are in the /root directory.
i.e.

ks-post.log.1
ks-rhn-post.log

Can you please attach the files including your kickstart script (instead of posting it)? Posting it might strip/convert some charaters.

[vampywiz17]

@sbluhm

Thats all that i see:

I only found this in syslog:

kickstart script

oracle_8_default.txt

[vampywiz17]

@sbluhm @Shirocco88

Today i update latest Uyuni (2021.08) but not help at all. I try Rocky Linux 8 (now it is officially supported) but exactly same problem. All RH7 based distro install well with kickstart, but 8 based distros create exact same issue... I search the net months ago, but not found what cause the problem....

[vampywiz17]

what do you think this problem is connected this? sloria/doitlive#45

similar error message, and it cause the multi line commands

It possible that this is the problematic line?

DISKS="$DISKS $(fdisk -l /dev/$disk | grep -v "swap\|LVM\|Extended" | awk '/^\/dev/{print $1}')"

possible that the "\" think that is a line break?

[mcalmer]

I wonder if this is a problem of Uyuni, or a problem of the Kickstart profile or anaconda itself.

[cbosdo]

Is this still an issue? I recall testing Rocky Linux 8 autoinstallation working OK recently

[vampywiz17]

I not use this system anymore, i migrate all of them to opensuse. So i can not able to test it.
