Bug ID: 25702796
Issue: When installing Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 on a system with an NVMe storage device (either a storage drive or add-in PCIe card) with larger than 2 TB capacity, the install might fail due to a Linux kernel panic. This might appear during install as a stack trace on the console. The install process will hang without warning or any other symptom, and the installation will not complete.
Affected Software: Oracle Linux 7 Update 3
Workaround: To avoid this panic during the install, select manual partitioning when configuring the NVMe device storage and ensure that any partition larger than 2 TB in size uses the ext4 file system instead of XFS. If you do an automated install using a kickstarter configuration file, ensure your storage partitions on NVMe devices use the ext4 file system, if the partitions are larger than 2 TB in size.
