It is my experience too that starting with CentOS 7, "post-installation setup tasks" take up an inproportionate amount of time during. All I was able to find out was that the kickstart %post section was not the culprit. It would be nice to have some detailed documentation what these post-installation tasks actually are. ISTR a lot of dracut this and that showing up in top. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Installation question?
I've been doing a CentOS 7.6.1810 net-install since last night. The machine seems ok but has been stuck with "performing post-installation setup tasks" for hours. This is an old Dell T5400 box, so it isn't blazing fast but ... Is there a way to pull up its skirt (so to speak) and check/monitor the installation activity while installing it? Having already started the installation? BTW, in the phase of the install process, is it still hitting the net? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The problem is that encrypted servers initrd.img have the ip addresses set in them. I am not sure why it happens.. but it does.. I had to manually edit the initrd.img and find all the places where the old ip addresses were mentioned to make it work. You can't just make a new initrd because it copies these configs over from the previous one.
