I have narrowed down a little bit the issue, these are my findings.

  - I compared the bootimage_michel.iso with the stx-2018-09-11-
111.iso, which is today's ISO.
  - The are not significant package differences between them, minor
versions has changed in some packages.
  - The issue is that once the kernel has been loaded through PXE,
anaconda is unable to find python2-qpid package. Not sure if this is
the first package that is requested.
  - From the anaconda shell I can see the http://pxecontroller/ serving
the files and the repodata seems to be updated there. I installed yum
manually and I was able to install python2-qpid package, (and any other
available).
  - The content of the pxe-network-installer package is not the same,
WR squashfs.img file has the kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2 but ours has 3.10.0-
862.6.3. We regenerate those files when the kernel was upgraded. (maybe
this matches with the date where the issue started to arise..)

So, my guess now is that the problem could be caused by the pxe-
network-installer package. We create those files with the update-
network-installer script. That's the same used in WR to generate these
files?

I'll keep diging in the generation of these files to see if there is
any problem.
