CentOS virt - Jan 2017 - Multiple problems with CentOS Atomic Host

Hi all,

 I have installed Centos Atomic Host (latest, release:
CentOS-Atomic-Host-7.1609-Installer.iso) in my KVM host laptop (RHEL 7.3 fully
patched). But after install it a lot of problems appears.

 a/ Keyboard: I have selected spanish keyboard during install, but after first
boot, keyboard is keymapped to us. Why? I have tried to change it via command
line, without luck. Executing "localectl list-keymaps", returns this
error: "Couldn't find any console maps". Maybe is it related to
these bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186757 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235726??. RedHat knowledge article
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1562963

 b/ Network: same problem as with keyboard. I configured network adapter but
after first boot, a docker0 bridge is created with a totally different IP
address: 172.17.0.1/16. Why? Another bug?

 c/ Disk partitions: I have created the following partitions at first stage:
/boot, swap, /, /tmp, /var ... and installation fails ... Selecting only /boot,
swap and /, installation works ok, like it does with automatic partitionning ...
But, why?


 Seeing these problems, I am asking if CentOS Atomic Host is a ready to use
product. To discard these problems, I have downloaded RedHat Atomic Host 7.3.1
(latest production release) and same problems appears ...

 Are CentOS Atomic Host and RedHat Atomic Host ready to use products in
production environments?? I think the answer is not ... In fact, they seems a
really bad options to deploy docker containers ...

 Any input? Any idea to how to resolve these (startup) problems?

Many thanks and Happy New Year.

Yes, it looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186757
is the best place to track this.

Docker creates a bridge for itself by default. Read more at

This could be related to ostree. You might try asking in #atomic on
freenode or on the atomic-devel list:
https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic-devel. Also,
for centos atomic stuff, a better list than this one is centos-devel.
