OVIRT 4.2.6: Deploying Errors + Official Repository Problems

Hi all, We are trying to install the new release of OVIRT 4.2.6 on freshly installed machines based on RHEL 7.5. First of all, we encountered a strange error when install the ovirt-release42 package, it adds the necessary public repositories on /etc/yum.repos.d/, but after do that, sometimes when we try to update or install the other required packages we saw: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ovirt-4.2/$releasever Why cannot configure this path variable automatically or what can influence to obtain this problem? In the other hand, when the repos sometimes are well configured and we can install the packages correctly, we found other problems related to the deploy of the ovirt-engine (OVA appliance based). Trying through cockpit, we found this error: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["virt-install", "-n", "HostedEngineLocal", "--os-variant", "rhel7", "--virt-type", "kvm", "--memory", "16348", "--vcpus", "4", "--network", "network=default,mac=00:16:3e:05:c3:66,model=virtio", "--disk", "/var/tmp/localvmj4Y_f1/images/65f7f081-4d9e-43ae-926f-25807f075f1d/a0a00e73-d3ea-4b9b-bd26-06fe189931f2", "--import", "--disk", "path=/var/tmp/localvmj4Y_f1/seed.iso,device=cdrom", "--noautoconsole", "--rng", "/dev/random", "--graphics", "vnc", "--video", "vga", "--sound", "none", "--controller", "usb,model=none", "--memballoon", "none", "--boot", "hd,menu=off", "--clock", "kvmclock_present=yes"], "delta": "0:00:02.122539", "end": "2018-09-06 00:44:18.089510", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2018-09-06 00:44:15.966971", "stderr": "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:91: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.21.1) or chardet (2.2.1) doesn't match a supported version!\n RequestsDepen dencyWarning)\nERROR internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'bios-256k.bin'\nDomain installation does not appear to have been successful.\nIf it was, you can restart your domain by running:\n virsh --connect qemu:///system start HostedEngineLocal\notherwise, please restart your installation.", "stderr_lines": ["/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:91: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.21.1) or chardet (2.2.1) doesn't match a supported version!", " RequestsDependencyWarning)", "ERROR internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'bios-256k.bin'", "Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.", "If it was, you can restart your domain by running:", " virsh --connect qemu:///system start HostedEngineLocal", "otherwise, please restart your installation."], "stdout": "\nStarting install...", "stdout_lines": ["", "Starting install..."]} Seem that it's related to Python packages versions (urllib3 and chardet), but we wasn't sure about that.

Hi, the real issue is "qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'bios-256k.bin'" and it's seams somehow dependency related. Maybe still https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235890 Can you please check that seabios-bin rpm is correctly installed on your env?
We tried to found the same error over the Lists and Community, but we don't found some info about that.
Thank for your help in advance.

$releasever You can use this variable to reference the release version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Yum obtains the value of $releasever from the distroverpkg=*value* line in the /etc/yum.conf configuration file. If there is no such line in /etc/yum.conf, then yuminfers the correct value by deriving the version number from the redhat-release-server package. The value of $releasever typically consists of the major release number and the variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, for example 6Client, or 6Server Can you please run: rpm -qv redhat-release-server to check you have redhat-release-server installed on your RHEL host? If this happens randomly after the installation you may be suffering some dns or other network related issue.
In the other hand, when the repos sometimes are well configured and we can install the packages correctly, we found other problems related to the deploy of the ovirt-engine (OVA appliance based).

Hi all,
If this happens randomly after the installation you may be suffering some dns or other network related issue.
This is the key, I had an issue on my DNS configuration that affects the installation procedure when I'm trying to pull new packages from the repos. I consider that this was solved and the thread can be closed. Thanks for your help. Regards!
