Why is /run/anaconda/initrd_errors.txt (and /run/anaconda) missing?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not sure, whatever comes with Satellite 6.11 / RHEL 9
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
Run provisioning
Actual results:
Dropped to emergency shell
Expected results:
The actual error is shown
Additional info:
The failed installation is tracked in support ticket 03333044 and bug 2138320 but the missing initrd_errors.txt might be a general problem, masking the actual problem.
I also filed a bug with dracut but they referred me to you guys:
[RHEL-5638] /run/anaconda/initrd_errors.txt: No such file or directory
Added finalised release notes text under the documentation section for this issue. No more work is pending on this issue for now. thanks rhn-support-gfialova for adding this in the tickets.yaml

added a comment - hello jkonecny@redhat.com, could you please set Release Notes Type under the documentation tab along with initial information under Release notes text so I can start preparing release notes for this issue for the upcoming release?

added a comment - hello jkonecny@redhat.com , could you please set Release Notes Type under the documentation tab along with initial information under Release notes text so I can start preparing release notes for this issue for the upcoming release? anaconda-34.25.4.4-1.el9 is included in RHEL-9.4.0-20240131.13, moving to Release Pending.
The problem with printing the misleading warning is gone.
Tested with anaconda-34.25.4.3-1.el9
Marking as Preliminary testing: Pass

You can't use kickstart of course.
