[CentOS] Latest 9-Stream ISO fails to boot after install
Hello, I was performing a test install of CentOS Stream 9 using the latest[1] available dvd iso from the mirror[2]. I manually select "minimal install" from the selectable packages. The install seems to go smoothly. Upon reboot I am greeted with: [FAILED] Failed to start Switch Root Further examination of the switch-root service shows the following: Failed to switch root: Specified switch root path '/sysroot' does not seem to be an OS tree. os-release file is missing. Booting into rescue media shows that the os-release file(s) actually do exist: ls -l /etc/os-release lwrxwrxwrx. 1 root root 21 Apr 6 08:27 /etc/os-release -> ../usr/lib/os- release ls -l /usr/lib/os-release -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 391 Apr 6 08:27 /usr/lib/os-release Is there anything I can do to help? What is the best way to address this issue -- open a bugzilla or something else?
