Mount: block device /tmp/CentOS-7-x86_6-01.iso is write-protected, mounting read-only I copied the CentOS 7 ISO to my temp directory and mounted it to get all the files: >cd /tmp If you are missing any applications, I am sure you can install them easily with yum.

My production machine is an up-to-date CentOS 7 server. Thanks! Complete Instructions for How to Reproduce If you can see what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. Here are the complete instructions on how to reproduce. I did see somewhere on the web that someone said there is a difference between CentOS 6 and 7 ISOs, but there was no additional information to indicate quantitatively what those differences might be.There is no post-installation step (I removed that from the ks since that is last log before the problem is seen), so that cannot be the issue.

I've even added the logging -level=debug line to the kickstart, but there was nothing of value to see. There are no logs generated that indicate the problem.I am at a loss as to what could be the problem. When I attempt to install it on real hardware with multiple interfaces, I get the 'Pane is dead' error after all the packages are installed. When installing with this on VirtualBox, everything works fine. Basically, I take the CentOS 7 ISO and added a kickstart file.

When installing a CentOS 7 ISO using kickstart, I get an error saying 'Pane is dead' with no additional logs. I am starting to think that it might be a problem with the hardware, but I am not certain. EDIT: I retried this generically, and see the same problem.

Centos 7 install virtualbox
