Description Derek 2022-09-29 16:11:11 UTC

Description of problem:
Provisioning a RHEL 9 host where kernel updates are applied after initial kickstart results in booting to emergency mode due to failure of initrd-switch-root.service

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel.x86_64 / 5.14.0-70.26.1.el9_0 / @rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms

How reproducible:
Every time so far

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new host to provision with RHEL 9
2. Include activation key so host registers with Satellite during provisioning
3. Host applies available updates as part of 'Kickstart default' provisioning template with default to upgrade packages

Actual results:
Host provisions but upon first boot, when attempting to boot new kernel, system goes to emergency boot:

initrd-switch-root.service fails, error message on console:
Specified switch root path '/sysroot' does not seem to be an OS tree. os-release file is missing..

Expected results:
system boot fully into new kernel

Additional info:
default 9.0 kernel is 5.14.0-70.22.1.el9_0
failed updated kernel is 5.14.0-70.26.1.el9_0

Comment 1 Derek 2022-09-29 16:13:23 UTC

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2105441 for similar error with 5.14.0-70.17.1.el9_0.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2022-09-30 00:24:56 UTC

This is not a pykickstart bug, kickstart is just the script that tells anaconda how to install the system. Reassigning to satellite since this seems to be exactly the same problem in bug 2105441

Please set the satellite version to the correct one, I just set it to 6.0.0

Comment 3 Jan Stodola 2022-09-30 07:57:28 UTC

This is probably the same problem as described in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6970059

Comment 4 Brad Buckingham 2022-10-03 13:17:57 UTC

Hello,

Was this issue observed while provisioning a RHEL 9 host through Satellite?

If so, what version of Satellite was being used?

Thanks!

Comment 5 Brad Buckingham 2022-10-06 13:15:49 UTC

After further investigation, this appears to be a duplicate of bug 2105441.  The fix for that bugzilla is targetted for inclusion in the upcoming releases 6.11.4 and 6.12.0.

This was not observed while provisioning via Satellite; host was provisioned locally.
