Here is my kickstart file aka how my Rocky 8.5 has been installed.

Code: Select all

[root@efa ~]# cat anaconda-ks.cfg
#version=RHEL8
# Use graphical install
graphical

repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=file:///run/install/sources/mount-0000-cdrom/AppStream

%packages
@^minimal-environment
@guest-agents
@standard
@system-tools
kexec-tools

%end

# Keyboard layouts
keyboard --xlayouts='ch'
# System language
lang en_US.UTF-8

# Network information
network  --bootproto=static --device=ens192 --gateway=10.0.1.254 --ip=10.0.1.38 --nameserver=10.0.0.10 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --ipv6=auto --activate
network  --hostname=efa.mydomain.ch

# Use CDROM installation media

# Run the Setup Agent on first boot

# Partition clearing information

# System timezone

# Root password

%addon com_redhat_kdump --enable --reserve-mb='auto'

%end

%anaconda
pwpolicy root --minlen=6 --minquality=1 --notstrict --nochanges --notempty
pwpolicy user --minlen=6 --minquality=1 --notstrict --nochanges --emptyok
pwpolicy luks --minlen=6 --minquality=1 --notstrict --nochanges --notempty
%end
Does somebody see something unusual?

Hi all,

Docu says: "you have a clean minimal installation to start with"

It looks like the additional tools coming from one of those groups caused a conflict with "unbound-1.11.0-1.eFa.el8.x86_64".

Code: Select all

@standard
@system-tools
I removed the vpn implementation..

Code: Select all

yum remove libreswan-4.4-1.el8.x86_64
The installations seems to ran through now.

Code: Select all
