Anaconda install breaks when using customization options

[fenpaws]

Using the anaconda-iso build type with customization leads to an ISO that is not able to launch the Anaconda.

I used various combinations of these customization options, from only using the ISO one to the modules; nothing worked. The only time Anaconda launches with customizations is with the following one.

[customizations.installer.kickstart]
contents = ""

The error i get when booting:

darcut-initqueue: timeout, still watiting for following initqueue hooks:
/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2froot.sh: "[ -e "/dev/root" ] "
/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/kickstart.sh: "[ -e /tmp/ks.cfg.done ] "
dracut-initqueue: starting timeout script

How to reproduce:

[customizations.iso]
volume_id = "TEST OS"
application_id = "test-os"
publisher = "me"

[customizations.installer.kickstart]
contents = ""

[customizations.installer.modules]
enable = [
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Storage"
]
disable = [
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Network",
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Security",
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Services",
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Users",
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Subscription",
  "org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Timezone"
]

sudo docker run \
    --rm \
    -it \

So; your blueprint works if you set the volume_id to something not containing spaces. This is a bug on our side and we will need to add validation to the value.

Can you test if changing the volume_id to TEST-OS solves your issue?

Okay i can confirm that this was the issue. I cant believe that this was the problem.

Me neither. I'll leave this open until I've added validation in the blueprint library for this.

FYI in lorax it replaces unsupported characters with - using this:

## Don't allow spaces or escape characters in the iso label
def valid_label(ch):
    return ch.isalnum() or ch == '_'

isolabel = ''.join(ch if valid_label(ch) else '-' for ch in isolabel)
