[ 3.174123] systemd[1]: initrd-switch-root.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE [ 3.176615] systemd[1]: initrd-switch-root.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. [ 3.179342] systemd[1]: Failed to start Switch Root. [FAILED] Failed to start Switch Root. I wonder what causes it to say that? The disk image itself has /etc/os-release -> ../usr/lib/os-release and /usr/lib/os-release is a regular file. The symlink ought to work since it is a relative path. The kernel finds the virtio disk so it has at least the block drivers. > > Something (systemd? dracut?) asks for a root password in order to get > > to the emergency shell, and I can find no way around this nor any > > password which works.

Is this how we organise disks by > default? AFAIK we don't do anything unusual. We're using autopart --type=plain in the kickstart which should make a non-LVM partition. I suppose vda1 must have something to do with UEFI. Thanks anyway, this gets us a little bit further.
