Deployment of CentOS 9 composer image fails: missing tar payload

Hey folks,
I’m having an error with a deployment of a kickstart_liveimg (CentOS 9 Stream)
It fails right after ‘Generating initramfs’ with this error:

kernel_version_list: missing tar payload

Anyone have an idea why it’s failing?

Thank You!

@llalonde Make sure your liveimg image contains a kernel. I had to add the following packages to my Red Hat Image Builder toml file to get my liveimg to install and boot:

  • grub2
  • grub2-efi-x64
  • grub2-tools
  • kernel
  • linux-firmware
  • lvm2
  • lvm2-libs
  • tar
  • xz

Thanks for the tip… through trial and error, came to the same conclusion!
