Log from failed boot

Description of problem: Fedora IoT DVD non-OSTree fails to boot and start anaconda, timing out waiting for /dev/root to become availble.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 35 RC 20210909.0 compose[0].


How reproducible: Every time, both on bare metal and KVM.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write image to USB drive with dd as described in test case[1] (skip if using KVM)
2. Boot, selecting boot device if necessary

Actual results: dracut-initqueue devexists check fails for /dev/root:

[  138.415721] fedora dracut-initqueue[1124]: Warning: dracut-initqueue: timeout, still waiting for following initqueue hooks:
[  138.417184] fedora dracut-initqueue[1124]: Warning: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2froot.sh: "[ -e "/dev/root" ]"
[  138.418439] fedora dracut-initqueue[1124]: Warning: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/wait_for_settle.sh: "[ -f /tmp/settle.done ]"
[  138.419838] fedora dracut-initqueue[1124]: Warning: dracut-initqueue: starting timeout scripts

This leads to anaconda failing to start.


Expected results: Anaconda to start.


Additional info: IoT OSTree DVD and disk images work fine. I have attached a log from a failed boot.

Comment 1 Peter Robinson 2021-09-10 08:56:50 UTC 
The non ostree one isn't supported it's a left over artefact of the OS compose process. Use the ostree one, it's the supported installer.
