Bug 1892528

This looks like dracut issue, changed component to reflect this.

What's the status of this bug?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '33'.

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 33 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.

Recently, I've bumped into an issue that might be related - a brand new Fedora 35 pendrive livecd with livecd-iso-to-disk and it fails to boot with:

> [    5.336301] fedora kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
> [  132.467148] fedora dracut-initqueue[637]: Warning: dracut-initqueue: timeout, still waiting for following initqueue hooks:
> [  132.469413] fedora dracut-initqueue[637]: Warning: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2fdisk\x2fby-uuid\x2ffe1a-f475.sh: "[ -e "/dev/disk/by-uuid/fe1a-f475" ]"
> [  132.469413] fedora dracut-initqueue[637]: Warning: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2froot.sh: "[ -e "/dev/root" ]"
> [  132.473078] fedora dracut-initqueue[637]: Warning: dracut-initqueue: starting timeout scripts

It was a clear installation on a 8GB pendrive with:
> sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --efi --format --home-size-mb 200 /tmp/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso /dev/sdb

The problem happens all the time for me (2 computers, 2 different pendrives). That command works fine with Fedora 34 and some earlier versions.

More details from rdsosreport.txt:

> /dev/disk/by-uuid:
> total 0
> <<... removed other sda - local drive - partitions ...>>
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov  7 11:05 E319-XXXX -> ../../sda6
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov  7 11:05 FE1A-F475 -> ../../sdb1

and:

> << ... other local sda partitions ... >>

while dracut-cmd clearly expects "[ -e "/dev/disk/by-uuid/fe1a-f475" ]" UUID with lower case (which is not available).

However, it works for me with Fedora 34 Workstation ISO (the original author had problem with Fedora 33), so it might be something else.

Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
