    Description

      Description of problem:

      I am trying to build an RHCOS layer for the following case #03497390 with a newer kernel version and debug mode enabled by using the following Containerfile:
      # Using a 4.12.21 image
      # export OCP_VERSION="4.12.21"
      # curl -s https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/$OCP_VERSION/release.txt | grep -m1 'rhel-coreos-8' | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}'
      ARG rhel_coreos_release
      FROM ${rhel_coreos_release}
      RUN rpm-ostree cliwrap install-to-root /
      # Env
      ENV KERNEL_RPM="https://people.redhat.com/midu/.kernel-4.18.0-507.el8.x86_64/kernel-debug-4.18.0-507.el8.x86_64.rpm \

      # Install hotfix rpm

      The issue encountered is the following:
      Use `rpm-ostree initramfs` to control client-side initramfs generation.
      rpm-ostree: Note: This system is image (rpm-ostree) based.
      rpm-ostree: Dropping privileges as `dracut` was executed with not "known safe" arguments.
      rpm-ostree: You may invoke the real `dracut` binary in `/usr/libexec/rpm-ostree/wrapped/dracut`.
      rpm-ostree: Continuing execution in 5 seconds.
      
      dracut: No permission to write to /boot.

      the image its builed succesfully BUT once the layer its being applied to the OCP the new kernel its not loaded:
      [core@master0 ~]$ oc get mc | grep -i side
      master-side-kernel                          20m
      
      [core@master0 ~]$ uname -r
      4.18.0-372.58.1.el8_6.x86_64

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
