Comment 2 for bug 1859859

How are you doing this installation? From the collected logs, looking through the anaconda logs, it looks like you are maybe using the net_smallsystem_ks.cfg file as the basis for a remote installation kickstart. The net_* kickstart files are for installation of nodes from the active controller, not for the initial installation of controller-0. The initial installation kickstart (smallsystem_ks.cfg on the ISO) provides some extra steps for the installation of the first controller, including software repo setup/mirroring.

For installation from a network server, there is a pxeboot_setup.sh utility in the ISO and pxeboot_*.cfg kickstart templates that have the extra steps needed for the installation of the first controller.

The patch-agent is failing because it cannot find the required software groups, an indication that the software repos were not properly mirrored as part of the post-installation setup that is in the kickstarts of the initial controller install:

You can see these additional pieces for the first controller installation in the following kickstart sections:

I downloaded the 20200115T023003Z ISO and verified installation works as expected.
