Description

All RPM errors are fatal during the installation (see the bug 1565123). Reassigning to kernel. The posttrans script runs the kernel-install which is just a wrapper around dracut. I'd like the dracut team to take the first look. I tried to find out what is happening. Chrooting in the sysimage I launched the final posttrans script command: /bin/kernel-install add 4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64/vmlinuz And it ended with error: Could not determine the kernel command line parameters. Please specify the kernel command line in /etc/kernel/cmdline! Related to: https://code.obermui.de/GitHub-Mirror/systemd/commit/88e1306af6380794842fb31108ba67895799fab4 ? I think the issue is now fixed upsteam by the commit pointed in previous comment. In the meantime, the workaround is to add a harmless (useless) extra arg to virt-install, like “--extra-args ro”.

Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '30'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
