welcome aboard!
@sandrobonazzola thanks for the invite.
Test build: https://resources.ovirt.org/repos/testing/alma/
@sandrobonazzola Can this ISO can work in VM environment? ISO booted ok, after install system did not booted, showed Grub shell as below. VM had 4 cpus, 8G RAM and 200GB hdd
VM had UEFI and secure boot enabled
Looks like it requires some debugging :-/ Worked on CentOS Stream 9 to this point so we need to figure out why this is happening.
@andrewlukoshko recommended to check EFI boot folder creation, since Almalinux and Rocky has it own https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/rhel-9/data/product.d/almalinux.conf#L13
Thanks @srbala and @andrewlukoshko , need to dig into this.
@sandrobonazzola It looks like os installer creates the grub.cfg
file under centos
folder, it is expected under almalinux
folder. Moving the file to right location get the system get booted.
Thanks @srbala ! #57 should solve
New test build has been uploaded to https://resources.ovirt.org/repos/testing/alma/
@sandrobonazzola Grub boot issue resolved, grub menu shows correctly and boots as expected.
Few points of observations: Testing ISO in VMWare, 4cpus, 9G RAM, 200G HDD
localhost
link, which shows after loginReported the missing file issue on imgbased project.
As for the additional user, oVirt Node is not expected to be administered by anyone else than oVirt Engine itself, so no additional user is being created. About the localhost at first prompt, I would consider it cosmetic.
I think now the leftovers are:
@srbala what help (if any) is needed from us to advance this project?
Yes I would love to use ovirt with almalinux. So what needs to happen to help change or at least have this option available?

Just to avoid confusion - I think that it's possible to use oVirt with AlmaLinux already.
This issue is about creating a native AlmaLinux based node. Please note the last comment by @sandrobonazzola that listed the last few things we need for that to happen.
Hey oVirt Team,
Since you are considering producing oVirt Node builds based on a more stable distribution than CentOS Stream 9. As a member of the AlmaLinux OS Virt SIG, I'd like to add another option to this decision:
The AlmaLinux OS 9.0 Beta 1 is available with its cloud images from 18th April 2022. We also expect the 9.0 stable in a couple of days. As AlmaLinux OS Virt SIG, we would love and be honoured to help.
