Need to switch Anaconda to using bootc install #883

Open kfox1111 opened 6 days ago

kfox1111 commented 6 days ago

alma linux image. when I boot from bios, kargs works. if I boot efi, its failing to show custom args.

ex:

  echo 'kargs = ["ipv6.disable=1"]' > /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/00-config.toml

I dont see the arguments making it into /boot/loader.1/entries/ostree-*

Something I'm missing?

What is your deployment path? bootc-image-builder? Anaconda? bootc install to-filesystem wrapped with something else?

Is this after an in-place update or is this a fresh install issue?

kfox1111 commented 6 days ago

I've seen it both ways.

In bios mode today, I did an upgrade with the new image and it seemed to work. then reinstalled forcing the firmware over to efi. it installed without the args. Then I tweaked the image then in-place updated it and still no options applied.

The thing is with the default bootloader flow we have, bios and UEFI both invoke grub which both just read the bootloader configs from /boot so there should really be no possible difference between the two.

Can you please include the container OS version and confirm the bootloader path?

FROM quay.io/almalinuxorg/almalinux-bootc:9.4-20241023 RUN echo 'kargs = ["ipv6.disable=1"]' > /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/00-config.toml

When I boot, I see the config.toml

# cat  /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/00-config.toml
kargs = ["ipv6.disable=1"]

But the generated loader args are skipping the kargs.d file:

# more /boot/loader.1/entries/ostree-1.conf

We chatted in person about this and realized it's because Anaconda isn't using bootc install yet, but we're working on that!
