Description Chris Henry 2023-08-02 16:56:49 UTC
Created attachment 1981339 [details]
20230720 vs 20230727 image grub options

Description of problem:
The newly released "CentOS-Stream-ec2-9-20230727.1.x86_64.raw.xz" image on cloud.centos.org has invalid kernel options in /boot/loader/entries resulting in failure to boot

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CentOS-Stream-ec2-9-20230727.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every boot


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and uncompress the image from cloud.centos.org
2. Define a KVM host with the downloading image as the system disk
3. boot the VM
4. Observe the Grub config contains installation options like inst.repo and inst.ks instead of normal boot options like root-UUID, console=, etc.

Actual results:
Booting drops to an emergency shell with error "dracut-mount[383]: Warning: Can't mount root filesystem

Expected results:
successful boot

Shameless plug: If anyone needs a workaround for this, the images built through Insights don't suffer from this issue: https://console.redhat.com/insights/image-builder/imagewizard
