Well, makes no difference since install is underway using the rescue iso.
Is a bz needed, tho, for todays x86_64 boot.iso?
Happens on i386 too. We're looking into it.
I'm a little baffled. I checked the initrd and the reason /init won't
load is.. there are no libraries on the initrd. (Yes, we're using
dynamically-loaded binaries in initrd now).
So I hacked up pungi to enable --debug on buildinstall (the script that
builds the images) and I get the following output:
DSO_DEPS for /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/loader/init are
Gosh. Yep, seems like there should be some libraries listed there. Like
libc, maybe.
Checking the code for buildinstall, I find get_dso_deps in
buildinstall.functions. It uses a chroot and some ld.so hackery to
figure out what libraries a binary wants to load. But there's no
ld-linux.so.* in /lib on the initrd, so this fails, so we get no deps.
Okay, that makes sense.
So it seems like mk-images would need something like:
cp -Lfp $IMGPATH/LIBDIR/ld*.so $MBD_DIR/$LIBDIR/
before any call to instbin (which calls get_dso_deps, which requires
ld.so to work right).
What *doesn't* make sense is: how did this ever work before? Neither
mk-images nor buildinstall* has been modified in the past week.
So yeah. I obviously don't understand the problem well enough to solve
it. But I hope this information is useful to someone smarter than me.

What is the bugzilla number?
