CentOS7 with packer

[ksac...@gmail.com]

I am trying to use packer to do CentOS 7 install. But my kickstart errors out. But after my kicstart tries to install, linux complains about less disk, not sure why.

Please see the attached image for the error. Also I am attaching my kickstart and json files as well. This is on a Ubuntu laptop I am trying. It has got something to do with "ignoredisk" param in ks file I guess

Hi,

I had some time to look into this. And I found several things. 

1) It seems Virtio is not support by default by the CentOS install so changing net_device to e1000 (or any other supported device) and disk_interface to ide makes the build successful.

Virtio can probably be used if you install the necessary drivers, but this have to be without network.

I have attached the template and ks.cfg I have used.

And disk_image should be false when booting from ISO.
