OCP 4 install failure because manifest had version
While trying to install an OCP v4.6 cluster on 3 bare metal nodes I could not figure out why my bootstrap would listen on 6443 but not on 22623 (machine config).
After many reboots and much debugging I ran across a stopped pod on the bootstrap node. Looking at the pods logs revealed I had added a maninfest with an invalid manifest version (I built it for a 4.7 cluster but then tried to use it in a 4.6 cluster.
```[root@ocs-bootstrap ~]# crictl ps -a

I'm curious what your install-config.yaml looks like. However, my first guess would be a mismatch between the version of the openshift-install binary and the rhcos image.

The baremetal nodes are VMs created on vSphere and I serve the RHCOS image via PXE/tftp using the below files.

rhcos-4.6.8-x86_64-live-kernel-x86_64
rhcos-4.6.8-x86_64-live-initramfs.x86_64.img
rhcos-4.6.8-x86_64-live-rootfs.x86_64.img

and use the below listed client to generate the manifests and ignition files

[root@ocp-svc openshift]# openshift-install version
openshift-install 4.6.8
