Description of problem: systemd/src/kernel-install/90-loaderentry.install If /proc/cmdline exists but is empty (which apparently is the case when building live CDs in Koji), then creation of the initrd fails with: Could not determine the kernel command line parameters. Please specify the kernel command line in /etc/kernel/cmdline! The error is clear enough, but it's not fixable because: (1) You can't create this file before doing the install in a kickstart, and (2) The file would be empty anyway. Anyway, why is this even a bug? Just allow the boot options to be empty. Here is the full build if you want to take a look: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7959633 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 21 buildroot. For specific versions see the 'root.log' file in http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7959633 How reproducible: 100% in F21 and Rawhide. Steps to Reproduce: You won't be able to do this unless you've been granted special koji permissions. However the command is: koji spin-livecd --scratch virt-p2v 1.29.2 rawhide x86_64 p2v.ks or koji spin-livecd --scratch virt-p2v 1.29.2 f21-build x86_64 p2v.ks Actual results: Live CD doesn't boot, because no initrd is created.
