I have a simple kickstart (I think it's simple) but it will not even start the install. It fails almost immediately with 2 errors that make no sense to me:

1. [9.934833] tmpfs: bad mount option huge
2. [ drm: hwss_edp_wait_for_hpd_ready [amdgpu]] *ERROR* hwss_edp_wait_for_hpd_ready; wait timed out

Then the system just hangs there (after #2) and it won't go any farther. Testing the below kickstart on a Dell Precision 7510. Can anyone offer any advice?

**** NOTE: Eventually (if I ever get that far) I'll start figuring out how to copy files from the media to the completed system, post-kickstart .Below is where I've left it for now. ******

#%post --interpreter=/bin/bash --nochroot
#!/bin/sh
#echo "* Runing post-install configuration *"
#echo "*******mounting CD_ROM***********"
#mkdir -p /mnt/source
#mount -o ro /tmp/cdrom /mnt/source
#cp -a /mnt/source/Post/files/route-eth0 /mnt/sysimage/etc/syconfig/network-scripts/
#%end

The first error is a bug which from a quick search is associated with the i915 driver. It does not affect anything and can be safely ignored as far as I know. My Dell's have a Intel GPU which uses the i915 driver.

The second error would be associated with a AMD GPU driver problem. What graphics card is installed in the 7510?

turned out to be a BIOS issue. I simply had to turn off "Switchable graphics"

Thanks to those that replied.

I'm able to get the system to boot from the kickstart media after turning off switchable graphics in the BIOS. However, no matter what, it won't read the anaconda-ks.cfg file so it stops at the first screen of a manual install.

What are you using for your installation media DVD or USB etc. Where is your kickstart file located and did you correctly identify the file on the kernel line of the boot loader according to the documentation?

I did not correctly identify the file on the kernel line. Thank you for the tip.
