#96 Fedora server 37 shows Volume group "fedora" not found error and won't boot
Closed: Invalid by pbrobinson. Opened by idelsink.

After preparing an SD card for my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with Fedora server 37, it does not want to boot and only shows:

[   12.594631] dracut-initqueue[623]:   WARNING: File locking is disabled.
[   12.617784] dracut-initqueue[623]:   Volume group "fedora" not found
[   12.618157] dracut-initqueue[623]:   Cannot process volume group fedora

I've created the image with the following command:

$ sudo arm-image-installer \
  --image=$HOME/Downloads/Fedora-Server-37-1.7.aarch64.raw.xz \
  --target=rpi4 \
  --media=/dev/mmcblk0 \
  --addkey=$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub \
  --addconsole \
  --norootpass \
  --resizefs

When it's booting, the following uboot info is shown:

After loading Fedora, the following is displayed and it goes into a look repeating the last section over and over again:

When using a Fedora server 36 image I get with:

$ sudo arm-image-installer \
  --image=$HOME/Downloads/Fedora-Server-36-1.5.aarch64.raw.xz \
  --target=rpi4 \
  --media=/dev/sdb \
  --addkey=$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub \
  --addconsole \
  --norootpass \
  --resizefs

The following output

So almost the same, but not exactly.

This is not a problem with arm-image-installer, please report it to the arm list or the appropriate place.
