When the Server edition QEMU image is booted for the first time, the boot process leads to a menu allowing account creation, root password setting, etc. This process works every time on x64, but fails with >50% frequency on aarch64. The attached shell script is a reproducer and contains detailed comments with sample output. I have seen this when running the reproducer in a F38 Workstation VM in Parallels on macOS as well as running Qemu directly on macOS with M2 processor. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: See attached shell script reproducer with detailed comments. Actual Results: Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin(8) man page for more details. Expected Results: 1) [x] Language settings 2) [x] Time settings (English (United States)) (Etc/UTC timezone) 3) [x] Network configuration 4) [x] Root password (Connected: ens3) (Root account is disabled) 5) [ ] User creation (No user will be created) Please make a selection from the above ['c' to continue, 'q' to quit, 'r' to refresh]: Although my testing with F37 was somewhat limited, I have NOT seen this with F37 Server QEMU aarch64.

Hello Tom, thank you for the report. I'm sorry - the way you reported this with the reproducer is pretty great - but there's nothing about anaconda in there, I'm afraid. I ran the script, and got the predicted result. There isn't much I could do, though. There seems to be no way to get access to the running system so I can't investigate the logs or run programs. (No console...) However, it's clear that anaconda does not even start, the last messages are from systemd. Here's a pile of ideas that are cheaper to type here than trying them myself: - install f37 and upgrade to f38 to see if it gets stuck the same way - try attaching a virtual serial console to see if the thing maybe continues elsewhere - there's also a virtio port to open - try inst.notmux and inst.noshell - reassign to systemd, they might have some ideas
After discussing with team members, dracut might be a more likely cause?
Hello, on dracut side, there's nothing useful in the log. Please start the install with `rd.debug rd.shell` (additionally to `inst.text console=ttyS0`) and post the full log (and `rdsosreport.txt` if available). More on how to debug: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems If there's a dracut crash or similar (failure/error), feel free to report it upstream (for faster resolution).
I interrupted GRUB to add those parameters to the kernel arguments. In the log I am about to attach (2023-07-20_log.txt), I see the parameters Pavel requested, but then a complaint about "Unknown..." that I don't know how to interpret. But my guess is that only the one "BOOT_IMAGE..." quoted is unknown and passed through unheeded? [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.2.9-300.fc38.aarch64 root=/dev/mapper/sysvg-root ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 rd.lvm.lv=sysvg/root inst.text rd.debug rd.shell [ 0.000000] Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.2.9-300.fc38.aarch64", will be passed to user space. At the end of the boot process, I see the familiar error instead of the expected menu: "Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked."

I also see no difference in behavior with "inst.notmux" and "inst.noshell".
I take back my previous comment. I happened to leave the Qemu VM reproducer running in the background for a long time with "inst.notmux" and "inst.noshell", and after a long delay, the menu appeared on the console but I could not interact with it, because input is instead directed to the login prompt. You can see below where I typed "r" to refresh the menu but it was instead read as username "r" and followed by the "Password: " prompt. Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.

I see, the shell locks after some time of inactivity. Let me check where this is invoked.
