https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213655 Bug ID: 1213655 Summary: KIWI image: second and following boots fall back to admin console Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.4 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Leap 15.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: piotr.sarnacki@jci.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hello , we have experiencing some boot problems with some type of our units . problems exists with appliance built using KIWI (latest official 15.4) on leap 15.4 .. Appliance install correctly, but fallback to emergency shell during every FULL ( from GRUB, not first boot from kexec) boot after install. error message lie this one: ---> [ 8.340113] localhost dracut-pre-mount[666]: enabling systemd-fsck-root.service [ 8.351725] localhost dracut-pre-mount[1021]: Removed /etc/systemd/system/systemd-fsck-root.service. [ 8.355097] localhost systemd[1]: Reloading. [ 8.570164] localhost systemd[1]: Finished dracut pre-mount hook.

Now , I'm no expert in KIWI code .. I believe there are possibly better ways to fix it , but i hope it can spare you some time for looking whats going on, especially as it could very difficult to reproduce. if you need additional information about hardware, perform some test I am happy to help you.
