Hi everyone,
I’m encountering an issue while trying to generate an OVA using Packer with Rocky Linux 8.9 minimal ISO. When I use the IDE or SATA controller type in my Packer JSON file, the OVA generation is successful. However, when I switch to the SCSI controller type with "hard_drive_interface": "SCSI", I encounter the following error while it reads kickstart file: “Disk ‘sda’ mentioned in ignoredisk command doesn’t exist.”
Problem Details:
- ISO Used: Rocky-8.9-x86_64-minimal.iso
- Error Message: “Disk ‘sda’ mentioned in ignoredisk command doesn’t exist.”
- Packer JSON Configuration:
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "virtualbox-iso",
"iso_url": "https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.9-x86_64-minimal.iso",
"hard_drive_interface": "SCSI", // Error occurs with SCSI controller type
// Other configuration options...
}
]
}
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use the provided Rocky Linux 8.9 minimal ISO.
- Configure Packer with the given JSON file and set
"hard_drive_interface": "SCSI". - Run Packer to generate the OVA.
- Observe the error message mentioned above.
Expected Behavior: The OVA generation should be successful with the SCSI controller type as it is with IDE and SATA.
Additional Notes: I’ve tried troubleshooting this issue by checking the disk configurations and other relevant settings, but I haven’t been able to resolve it. Any insights or suggestions on how to overcome this problem would be greatly appreciated!
