Description
Description of problem: When installing el9 on a VirtualBox guest with an new vmdk files as the storage, the boot will fail with the error:
dracut: FATAL: iscsiroot requested but kernel/initrd does not support iscsi
A bug was submitted to Red Hat however the response is this is a VirtualBox issue. For more details, please see/contribute to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2041094
How reproducible: This consistently reproducible with implementing a work around.
Steps to Reproduce:
- VirtualBox 6.1.30 (Windows host)
- Create a new Linux VM.
- Create a new VMDK file as the disk device.
- Boot the guest using PXE.
Actual results: Kernel and initrd loads however the boot fails/stops with:
dracut: FATAL: iscsiroot requested but kernel/initrd does not support iscsi
Expected results: Boot succeeds and ANACONDA start the installation.
Additional info:
If I install CentOS 8 on the guest/vmdk file and then reinstall with EL9, the installation succeeds.
I am attaching 2 console logs. One is the initial attempt that fails. The second contains the El8 then EL9 work-around for comparison.
Correction, the logs are attached to the Red Hat bug report.
