      Hello,

      In the past, I created an image with rhel 8 with the following command:

      /sbin/livemedia-creator --ks /opt/cloud_image_creation/ks-files/flattened_azure-redhat8.4.ks --make-disk --iso /opt/cloud_image_creation/iso-files/rhel-8.4-x86_64-dvd.iso --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 --resultdir /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_8.4azure-2024-05-01/image --project redhat --releasever 8.4 --logfile /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_8.4azure-2024-05-01/log_files/livemedia.log
      

      Now I want to create a rhel 9 image. Furthermore, I want, in the same time, switch to efi boot:

      /sbin/livemedia-creator --ks /opt/cloud_image_creation/ks-files/flattened_azure-redhat9.ks --virt-uefi --make-disk --iso /opt/cloud_image_creation/iso-files/rhel-9.4-x86_64-boot.iso --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 --resultdir /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_9_azure-2024-05-02/image --project redhat --releasever 9 --logfile /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_9_azure-2024-05-02/log_files/livemedia.log
      

       
      The installation progress stopped, and so I checked with an VNC viewer, what happened:

      There is a kernel panic.

      So I tested the same command, but I changed the iso image from rhel 9 to rhel 8:

      /sbin/livemedia-creator --ks /opt/cloud_image_creation/ks-files/flattened_azure-redhat9.ks --virt-uefi --make-disk --iso /opt/cloud_image_creation/iso-files/rhel-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 --resultdir /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_9_azure-2024-05-02/image --project redhat --releasever 9 --logfile /opt/cloud_image_creation/images/redhat_9_azure-2024-05-02/log_files/livemedia.log
      

       
      After that, the installation process started (it failed because of the wrong kickstart file, but there was no kernel panic).

      I got these problems with the following versions of livemedia-creator:
      livemedia-creator-38.12-1
      livemedia-creator-28.14.70-1

      Is that a bug or is it not possible to create rhel 9 images with livemedia-creator or is the fault mine?

      Cheers, Lasse
