I have a known good kickstart that works with the minimal.iso but fails on the boot.iso.  
If I’m reading the logs correctly it’s failing because it’s looking for repomd.xml on the cdrom.

I’ve used the following all working url/repo lines

> url --url=“hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.4/BaseOS/x86\_64/os”  
> repo --name=“BaseOS” --baseurl=hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.4/BaseOS/x86\_64/os  
> repo --name=“AppStream” --baseurl=hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.4/AppStream/x86\_64/os

> url --url=“hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/BaseOS/x86\_64/os”  
> repo --name=“BaseOS” --baseurl=hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/BaseOS/x86\_64/os  
> repo --name=“AppStream” --baseurl=hxxps://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/AppStream/x86\_64/os

As well as these

> url --mirrorlist=“hxxps://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrorlist?arch=x86\_64&repo=rocky-BaseOS-9.4”  
> repo --name=AppStream --mirrorlist=“hxxps://mirrors.rockylinux.org/mirrorlist?arch=x86\_64&repo=AppStream-9.4”

I know there must be something simple I’m missing but everything I google regarding the boot.iso gives instructions for PXE boot. I just want a small iso to pull from internet.

The only thing I’ve changed on grub.cfg which works on the minimal and the boot image does find my kickstart and applies my settings except repos.  
Added to default menuentry.

\*Changed http to hxxp since forum won’t allow ‘links’ since I’m a new user.
