What were you trying to do that didn't work?
Deploying an OS from a bootable container via ostreecontainer fails with (program.log):
... 12:05:56,401 INF program: Running... mount --bind /mnt/sysimage/ /mnt/sysroot/sysroot 12:05:56,408 DBG program: Return code: 0 12:05:59,492 INF program: Running in chroot '/mnt/sysroot'... bootupctl backend install --auto --write-uuid --device /dev/vda / 12:05:59,758 INF program: Installed: grub.cfg 12:05:59,759 DBG program: Return code: 0 12:05:59,766 INF program: Running in chroot '/mnt/sysroot'... ostree admin instutil set-kargs console=ttyS0,115200 mitigations=off crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M root=UUID=cda61c28-4f0e-4355-a278-a5d5c848fee9 rw 12:05:59,789 INF program: error: Unable to find a deployment in sysroot 12:05:59,789 DBG program: Return code: 1
The "ostree admin instutil set-kargs" receives arguments from bootloader, which was specified as
bootloader --append="console=ttyS0,115200 mitigations=off"
in the kickstart, and the crashkernel / root seem to be injected by Anaconda code, see: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/3eb0eef5528/pyanaconda/modules/payloads/payload/rpm_ostree/installation.py#L574 .
I'm not sure what causes the error, but trying to reproduce it manually when Anaconda aborts (within the ~5 minutes until it shuts down completely) wasn't very successful - trying to run the ostree in /mnt/sysimage as chroot didn't work,
$ chroot /mnt/sysimage ostree admin instutil set-kargs console=ttyS0,115200 mitigations=off crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M root=UUID=cda61c28-4f0e-4355-a278-a5d5c848fee9 rw
chroot: failed to run command 'ostree': No such file or directory
while using its --sysimage option did work,
$ ostree admin instutil set-kargs --sysroot=/mnt/sysimage console=ttyS0,115200 mitigations=off crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M root=UUID=cda61c28-4f0e-4355-a278-a5d5c848fee9 rw Bootloader updated; bootconfig swap: yes; bootversion: boot.0.1, deployment count change: 0
but I suspect it didn't write the entries in the right place, as /mnt/sysimage doesn't look like a valid FHS structure, or anything similar.
Either way, the error is there when it's run by Anaconda.
What is the impact of this issue to you?
I can't deploy the OS using ostreecontainer.
