[CentOS] CentOS automatic installation fails with “Installation Destination” error
Hi,
I'm trying to install the centos netboot install on ppc64le platform but
automation installation(kickstart) fails with the following error:
Starting installer, one moment...
find_file: stat /proc/device-tree/chosen/bootpath, No such file or
directory
anaconda 21.48.22.56-1 for CentOS AltArch 7 started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain
attachments

The installation was stopped due to incomplete spokes detected while
running in non-interactive cmdline mode. Since there cannot be any
questions in cmdline mode, edit your kickstart file and retry
installation.
The exact error message is:
The following mandatory spokes are not completed:
Installation Destination.
The installer will now terminate.
[root at llmtul01b qemu]#
And kickstart file looks like:

# Disk setup

clearpart --all --initlabel

Looking for the option to select the installation destination through
kickstart file.
Thanks,
