Description of problem:
When building appliance images for CentOS Stream, 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 from EPEL and may cause issues in other image build tools as well.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
250-11.el9
