Description of problem: Recently discovered in the CI that 4.4 builds are failing in the bootstrap phase. On manually trying an install , it looks like the error is the kubelet service not starting and this was the error log: Feb 08 22:02:17 psundara-ocp-ptj44-bootstrap hyperkube[2888]: I0208 22:02:17.946044 2888 server.go:540] No cloud provider specified: "" from the config file: "" Feb 08 22:02:17 psundara-ocp-ptj44-bootstrap hyperkube[2888]: W0208 22:02:17.946082 2888 server.go:563] standalone mode, no API client Feb 08 22:02:17 psundara-ocp-ptj44-bootstrap hyperkube[2888]: F0208 22:02:17.946123 2888 server.go:273] failed to run Kubelet: No authentication method configured There seems to have been a recent change in the installer code that seemed to have indirectly caused this issue: https://github.com/openshift/installer/commit/2e69b437cf204b0f01e0ba1d99097200b75ccb44. Looks like the hyperkube package for ppc64le/s390x was old because the bootimage was old. This change works fine for x86 because the x86 rhcos bootimages were bumped for a CVE: https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/3985. At that time the ppc64le/s390x images were never bumped. The bootimages need to be bumped for ppc64le/s390x to fix this issue
Going to update the bootimages to : https://releases-art-rhcos.svc.ci.openshift.org/art/storage/releases/rhcos-4.4-s390x/44.82.202011122341-0/s390x/meta.json for s390x https://releases-art-rhcos.svc.ci.openshift.org/art/storage/releases/rhcos-4.4-ppc64le/44.82.202012010439-0/ppc64le/meta.json for ppc6l4e these are the closest builds to x86 i could find and this is the hyperkube package diff: "openshift-hyperkube": { "rhcos-4.4-s390x/44.81.202004252140-0": "openshift-hyperkube-4.4.0-202004241258.git.1.bfb96d1.el8.s390x", "rhcos-4.4-s390x/44.82.202011122341-0": "openshift-hyperkube-4.4.0-202011122017.p0.git.0.149ca32.el8.s390x" }, "openshift-hyperkube": { "rhcos-4.4-ppc64le/44.81.202004252240-0": "openshift-hyperkube-4.4.0-202004241258.git.1.bfb96d1.el8.ppc64le", "rhcos-4.4-ppc64le/44.82.202012010439-0": "openshift-hyperkube-4.4.0-202011130111.p0.git.0.4861dfa.el8.ppc64le" },
