Description Neal Gompa 2022-11-25 14:15:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
When building appliance images for Fedora Linux, kernel-install does not correctly handle the case for an empty /etc/machine-id, nor does it handle when the file is set with the value "uninitialized" correctly.

This causes problems when trying to build images with kiwi using systemd-boot and may cause issues in other image build tools as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
252.1-588.fc38

Additional info:
While this bug is filed against Rawhide, it affects all Fedora releases.

For F36 and F37 too?
Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2022-11-25 14:57:14 UTC 
No, just for rawhide.
