Coming back to this. Thank you everyone that commented and provided a way out.
The main problem was the use of the wrong RDO repos. We now have a working installation and are beginning its further configuration and use.
I believe that the documentation needs to be clarified and be more explicit on how to deal with the Openstack RDO repos. With an abundance of Openstack install methods there is a lot of confusion on how to get started and what to use.

Thank you all
Andreas

Hello,

we have been trying to to create an operational RDO/TripleO based Openstack system with disappointing failures and would like to hear from kind folks that have successfully built such an environment. At least to make sure that such an approach is possible.

We are building exclusively on CentOS 7 with Rocky release and 4 bare metal machines (undercloud, controller, compute, storage). We follow the installation manual found on the TripleO site (http://tripleo.org/install/index.html) and using the RDO/CentOS repositories for Rocky. Unfortunately we cannot get passed the "openstack undercloud install" stage. We have attempted several times always starting from scratch and receive ERROR and FAIL debug messages at different stages. Of course all those messages are too cryptic to make any sense (to us) and I would appreciate if someone could help.

We could provide install log files but at this stage we are looking to make sure that such an install is possible.

thank you, best wishes
