Anaconda says “kickstart insufficient” and "error: logical volume "root" given in logvol command does not exist”. The message seems clear but after complaining anaconda is now in interactive mode and the LVs are visible and I can interactive finish the installation. At that point I had the hope that the anaconda generated /root/anaconda-ks.cfg would give some hints but no news there. The solution is to activate the LVs in %pre It turns out that there is /dev/sda present but not the device files for /dev/sdaX. …snip %pre mknod /dev/sda2 b 8 2 pvscan vgchange -ay %end snap… alternatively this oneliner is working too, interestingly …snip %pre parted /dev/sda unit MiB print %end snip… Note that with the parted command it is not necessary to vgchange afterwards. Is there a builtin kickstart command that accomplishes the same instead of some %pre? If not, why is %pre necessary? %pre was not necessary with RHEL7. Is this by design or is it a bug?
