Upstream description:

This test recently started running in the `build-node-image` job, see: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-pipeline/pull/1178, and has been failing since on the `s390x` arch for the `4.19-9.6` and `4.20-9.6` streams.

1. 1. 1. 1. Console Log Analysis
            I've reviewed the console logs and believe the machine is actually booting successfully. The log for a test run shows the machine reaching a login prompt and configuring network interfaces.

• *Successful boot*: The log ends with a console login prompt, although for the `ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-18` user, not the `core` user.
• *Network configuration*: The `rhcos.network.init-interfaces-test` test configures the network via Ignition. The log shows that systemd successfully started the Network Manager service. The final log output also shows three network interfaces (`enc1.0001`, `enc1.0002`, and `enc3`) with assigned IP addresses, confirming the network was successfully configured and is operational.
• *coreos-teardown-initramfs*: There are some messages from this service: `RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported` that I'm not sure are related. The console log shows that the system proceeds to successfully boot despite these messages.
