Description Antonio Murdaca 2021-11-29 08:30:41 UTC

Description of problem:

Some change between 8.6* and 9 now makes coreos-installer dracut module not work in the initramfs in 9. COI removes /etc/initrd-release but surely systemd needs it for some reason and they're now enforcing the presence of that. Touch'ing the file makes COI work again in the initramfs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

coreos-installer-dracut-0.10.1-4.el9.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an edge simplified installer using https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/pull/2015
2. boot the ISO
3.

Actual results:

COI doesn't work, just drops you in an emergency shell


Expected results:

COI works installing the system and rebooting
