Unable to install RHEL 8.3
 
I am trying to install RHEL 8.3 in my PC as a second OS. The configuration of my PC is as follows;
i) CPU-Intel i710700k
ii) MBD-Asus Hero Maximus XII
iii) Storage-Samsung NV Me M.2 500 Gb-1, WD NV Me M.2 500 GB-1, Sata HDD 2TB-2
iv) install Os is Win 10 on Samsung NV Me drive
I am trying to install RHEL 8.3 on WD NVM M.2.
Now the problem is I have obtained a subscription for learning purpose and when i try to install the RHEL on WD while attaching the subscription the installation breaks up.
It says "An unknown error occurred" while we are reading the description of the error
it displays "anaconda 33.16.3.26 exception report"
Since am entirely new to RHEL I am unable to proceed further. While contacting the customer support they gave me this Linux forum for further clarification of technical details.

Expecting support from the expertise.
Thanks in advance

Since you've obtained a subscription, I'd strongly suggest you contact Red Hat support. Saying it 'breaks up' doesn't tell us much, and based on what you've posted, we can't tell you anything. And I HIGHLY DOUBT that Red Hat support gave a paying customer a link to this site, mainly since they have their OWN forum.

You mention Windows; are you trying to dual-boot or remove Windows and install Linux? How far do you get during installation? And why are you trying to install RHEL, when Fedora or any other Linux distro functions the same.

That "Functions the same" is not actually true enough if you are working on RHEL certifications.

OP, after you address RH support pages and staff, let us know how it went and fill us in on your objectives and the detail on the problem. Someone else may run into the same issue and need to know.

True, but if you're just after a learning experience and getting into Linux, any distro will work for that. Can still configure services, LVM's, etc., but you will be missing the RHEL specific things. And having more experience and knowledge about Linux in general will most certainly be helpful if someone wanted a 'certification' later on.

Agreed. There are several pages on the Red Hat forums dealing with NVME as well.

Regd Dual Boot
 
@TBOne: I am trying a dual boot. Separate Storage devices for separate platforms. Windows 10 in Samsung device and RHEL on WD storage device. I have obtained free subscription and not paid one.
The installation got terminated while attaching the subscription onto the server.
The purpose for RHEL is only for learning purposes since some of the chemistry computation software's are working efficiently on RHEL.

Willsjoy2021Lin 05-10-2021 10:22 AM

@wpeckham: I'll try the methods you've suggested and let you know if I succeed.

This makes no sense. Are you now saying the installation succeeded and it failed when you tried to activate the subscription?? If so, that's far different than the installation itself failing. And the only people who can help you with subscription-related problems is Red Hat. Since you're installing to two different storage devices, it'd be far easier to remove the Windows NVME drive from the system, and eliminate a source of confusion to the installer, since it would then only see one storage device, and not two.

And again, I find it very hard to believe that Red Hat support sent you to a public forum, especially when you say you have a subscription. And did you read the link I provided to the RHEL knowledgebase? That's available to you, since you have a subscription, and may help with your problem.

Describe EXACTLY where things are failing, because we still don't have enough information to even begin to help.

What is the name of this software? Because there shouldn't be many (if any) problems running it on any version of Linux. Provide answers to the questions asked, and we can try to help. Otherwise, you can open a support case with Red Hat, and pay for single-issue support.

How? And can you verify your free subscription is actually valid (on RHEL portal)? https://access.redhat.com/management

If you boot your RHEL 8 now what happens?

If you can login, have you tried to manually register with command:

Code:

subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=secret

I don't know if this is relevant, as you haven't described where/when you are having problems in the installation process, but for what it's worth:

If you are trying to register RHEL *during* the installation and are having issues, I recommend that you bypass the registration process until you complete the installation and log-in as the root user for the first time. I have experienced... abnormalities myself in earlier RHEL versions (7.9 most recently) that were resolved in this manner.

chrism01 05-11-2021 01:38 AM

I agree, I'd leave the subscription registration until after I'd got it up and running.

How about running it in virtualbox? (mll)

Edit append:
It would only take a few minutes to get this .vdi running,
to try your "chemistry computation software"
(maybe: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=chemistry+...ware+for+Linux)

What do the relevant log(s) say?

lmgtfy: maybe: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1939919

Which #7's .sig link links to,
is a useful 'soft skill', just FYI.
