I realize my mistake.  One should not do switch_root inside dracut emergency_shell.
my apology for given wrong instruction.
For testing the setup problem the correction action should be | Code: | mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /sysroot -o ro
exit |
Once exit from the emergency_shell, dracut will automatically resume from failed mounting root and should be able to do the switch_root in its own logic.
I should have caught this condition when you said in went back in a loop. Sorry for wasting your time for doing those unnecessary work.
This is the disadvantage debug from remote, I think switch_root should actually report an error condition state that the parent process ID is not 1 and cannot do its work. but dracut would mess up the output because its way of working.
Anyway wish you have safe trip. And welcome back whenever you feel comfortable. |
