      .Rescue mode in Anaconda now correctly detects and mounts image-based systems

      Before this release, the rescue scanner failed to identify image-based installations due to their unique filesystem hierarchy. The environment now automatically mounts the system under the `/mnt/sysroot` mount point and provides the specific `chroot` command required to access the active deployment. As the image-based systems are immutable, manual changes should be limited to `/etc` or `/var`.

      Using Anaconda's rescue mode doesn't work with image mode installations, i. e. installations with ostreecontainer or bootc commands using a bootable container as a payload. In such a case, Anaconda doesn't find an installed system during a scan in rescue mode, as it uses different paths within the filesystem, and therefore the only option is to access it manually.

      Affected version

      anaconda-40.22.3.39-1.el10

      Steps to reproduce

      • Install a bootable container image using ostreecontainer or bootc kickstart command.
      • Start Anaconda in rescue mode.
      • When presented with the rescue mode menu, choose to scan for existing linux installations.

      Expected results

      The system installed from bootable container image is found and made accessible (even with some limitations based on its nature).

      Actual results

      No installed system(s) found.
