      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

       

      Install RHEL into a KVM VM with virtio-gpu device.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

       

      anaconda-34.25.5.5-1.el9.s390x.rpm

      RHEL-9.5.0-20240623.4

      How reproducible:

       

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1. # virt-install --location <compose_url> --disk size=10 --os-variant rhel9-unknown --name latest_rhel9 --memory 2048 --vcpus 2  --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --input keyboard,bus=virtio --input tablet,bus=virtio --name rhel9
      2. identify the port to connect vnc to (virsh dumpxml rhel9|grep listen); open the port if necessary, e.g. firewall-cmd --add-port 5900/tcp
      3. connect to the graphical session, e.g. w/ tigervnc or virtviewer

      Expected results

      The graphical installer shows, I can advance and finish a graphical installation.

      Actual results

      A box with an error message is shown.

      Hitting the Debug button doesn't switch to tty1.

      When I connect to the console (virsh console rhel9) then I land in a pdb session.

       

      Additional info

      1. When I install graphically with compose RHEL-9.5.0-20240611.36 and then upgrade the guest kernel to the one in RHEL-9.5.0-20240623.4, gnome still works, that's why I assume it's an issue with anaconda. I'll add the error message as soon as I can get it out of the system (remote session doesn't support c&p)
      2. The host kernel is 5.14.0-460, in case this could make a difference, I'll also try to start the guest with gnome and latest kernel on a more recent kernel.
      3. It reproduces on LPAR ('baremetal') installation.
          File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/gi/_ossighelper.py", line 92, in signal_notify
            def signal_notify(source, condition):
        pyanaconda.errors.ExitError: gnome-kiosk exited on signal 11
      4. I asked others for help to try reproduce this on other archs.
