O.K. What is the evaluated template for the host you are trying to install and what is the exact errors you get?
I have tried with below default template which is creating kickstart image successfully but while installing os which is not working for almalinux9 whereas Centos 7 successfully installed using below default template.
Please suggest me whether below default template will work alma Linux 8, 9 ?
<%#
kind: provision
name: Kickstart default
model: ProvisioningTemplate
oses:
- AlmaLinux
- CentOS
- CentOS_Stream
- Fedora
- RedHat
- Rocky
test_on:
- host4dhcp
- host6dhcp
- host4and6dhcp
- host4static
- host6static

The provisioning template for kickstart based distributions. The output is fetched by Anaconda installer during
the network based installation. To customize the installation, modify the host parameters.
This template accepts the following parameters:
- lang: string (default="en_US.UTF-8")
- selinux-mode: string (default="enforcing")
- keyboard: string (default="us")
- time-zone: string (default="UTC")
- http-proxy: string (default="")
- http-proxy-port: string (default="")
- force-puppet: boolean (default=false)
- enable-epel: boolean (default=false)
- enable-puppetlabs-repo: boolean (default=false)
- enable-puppetlabs-puppet5-repo: boolean (default=false)
- enable-puppetlabs-puppet6-repo: boolean (default=false)
- skip-puppet-setup: boolean (default=false)
- salt_master: string (default=undef)
- ntp-server: string (default=undef)
- bootloader-append: string (default="nofb quiet splash=quiet")
- disable-firewall: boolean (default=false)
- package_upgrade: boolean (default=true)
- disable-uek: boolean (default=false)
- use-ntp: boolean (default depends on OS release)
- fips_enabled: boolean (default=false)

I don’t know what is not working if you don’t post what’s happening.
Again: please post the evaluated template aka the actual kickstart file used for provisioning and also post what’s happening including the exact errors.
Please below required information and let us know if you are able to provide any suggestion it would be help for me

I am sorry, but I think you should ask someone else who has more experience with Linux. You are really making a huge mess and keep confusing everything.
Why do you keep posting CentOS 7 installation? You have a problem with AlmaLinux 9. Constantly posting information about your CentOS 7 installation isn’t helping. Every time, when I want to check some of your configuration for AlmaLinux I have to double check and triple check that the output I have on the screen is the one for Alma 9 and not CentOS 7. There is no point posting about CentOS 7. You have posted before that it’s working for CentOS 7. I have pointed out before that EL7 and EL8/9 are quite different in kickstart installation that’s why it’s not helpful to know that CentOS 7 is working.
And at any turn it makes me doubt if that what you post is really what it is or whether you have mixed something up. Just like you have edited the template replacing each appearance of 7 by 9 to basically make a EL 7 with EL 9, even though the reason why those conditions check for 7 or 9 in the template is because it is actually really different and installations for EL7 must be handled differently from EL9. Which really makes me think that you don’t understand the template and what they do at all. Thus, maybe you ask someone else?
I mean if you read the rendered kickstart and the very first statement printed:
and look at the template code generating that statement in the posted template you claim you are using:
You can see that there is obviously something wrong there: either you are still using your broken template where you have replaced the 7 by 9 or the selected operating system for the host isn’t configured correctly as rhel_compatible and the correct os_major.
The variables are set before in that template:
Thus verify that the template you are using is really the original, unmodified kickstart template and check the configuration of the operating system in foreman you have selected for the host to be provisioned.
The rendered kickstart is wrong and it’s either because the template is broken or because the information going into the expressions for the if statement above are incorrect.
Either way, you have messed something up pretty badly to get
(is_fedora && os_major < 29) || (rhel_compatible && os_major <= 7)
evaluated to true with a AlmaLinux 9 operating system configured in foreman. The only explanation for me for that to happen would be
either you are still using your broken template where you have replaced the 7 in that line with 9 and not the one you claim to use.
Or the operating system is configured to be os major version 7 which would mean you have set up your AlmaLinux 9 operating system in foreman explicitly as os_major 7. Which again is wrong on so many levels…
Hi ,
When attempting to install using the kickstart default template for 7, which is now operational and updated with log information, I updated the two scenarios mentioned above.
You can see in the screenshot of alamalinux9 above that the uri links for each one will differ while using the same kickstart default template.

I apologise if this is confusing you, however if you require any additional information, i will give it to you.
I’m attempting to communicate my intention after observing it.
We created the Almhalinux 9 operating system and the provision template, selecting the default template for it.
The kickstart template you are trying to use does not match the version
of anaconda installer from the EL Linux distribution you are attempting
to install from. As gvde has stated, you need to start with the default
kickstart template for EL 9 not try to fudge the EL 7 template it simply
won’t work with EL 9 without many modifications. Try the vanilla default
kickstart template just to get a satisfactory Alma 9 basic install.
After that you can gradually make modifications by cloning the template
then test each modification one by one to ensure everything works as
expected.
thank you for your suggestion for EL9, how can we get vanilla default
kickstart ?
the below templates are available on foreman.
Well, as pointed out before: you can see at the install statement in the rendered kickstart that that is not the case.
You really have to fix what I wrote in my previous post. Repeating the same mistakes over and over again is futile.
thank you for your suggestion for EL9, how can we get vanilla default
kickstart ?

I now understand that the EL9 architecture is unique, but how can I obtain a template to install it? On the Foreman server, templates that are currently accessible are listed.
It’s the one called “Kickstart default” (provisioning template)
Read my post before where I have explained the situation and the two (most likely) reasons why that goes wrong.
You have posted the content of the Kickstart default template before. You have it. Read my post before. I have explained it in detail.
Because the architecture is different while installing Almalinux 9, kickstart default does not function. I learned via gvde that we needed an EL9 template, however our foreman’s kickstart defautl template wasn’t compatible with EL9.
Which version of foreman are you running?
Just to be absolutely sure, you have disassociated that Almal Linux 9
provisioning template(as shown in your ealier image) and associated
“Kickstart default” with the Alma Linux 9 Operating System? Before
provisioning your host please double check that it is picking up the
“Kickstart Default” template and not your custom A"Alma Linux 9" one.
