Rocky Linux 9.4 has been released. See our release announcement for more details. Thank you for supporting Rocky Linux! Sincerely, Release Engineering @ The Rocky Linux Project https://rockylinux.org

[image] anemarkus: Maybe worth trying $releasever_major instead of $releasever Doesn’t $releasever hold just the major? (That is why repos have the 9 → 9.x symlink – for baseurl access. The mirrorlist server now hands out explicit “9.4” urls, when you ask for “9”.) Since the URL in kickstar…

[image] jlehtone: Doesn’t $releasever hold just the major? Yes it does, and I’m not surprised. So it’s probably not the move to vault which is causing trouble for @djg A note on the $releasever_major (and $releasever_minor) variable. It’s available in fedora, but not yet in RHEL and clones.

so as far as I can see its looking for the 9.3 files, what I have is a kernel and initrd then go looking for stage2, then its in the kickstart that its getting the problems, its as mentioned its not symlinked and its just now an empty folder with a readme. ive updated the kickstarts to look for vaul…

I tried to open an issue at https://bugs.rockylinux.org/ but the validation email isn’t coming through so I was unable to register. If I create an EC2 instance from the Rocky 9.3 AWS AMI (ami-067daee80a6d36ac0, Rocky-9-EC2-Base-9.3-20231113.0.x86_64), I can update to 9.4 with all the latest package…

Just installed Rocky 9.4 on Virtualbox 7.0 running KDE Plasma. Also installed xrdp, works using a bridged network interface. Will continue to test. No problems with epel-release.

DockerHub tags for 9.4 are not live yet? Last update for the current 9 tag is 6 months ago, despite the downloads page links to it (which actually is 9.3)

Following up in the main thread – the issue with the EC2 images will be resolved with images I upload today. Thanks for your patience!

Heya - I halted the deployment to the ‘Official’ images because of some regressions to the images w.r.t. package set; I have new images that I will be publishing today.
