Description

  • This bug persists when memory is increased beyond 8GB.

Describe the bug

netboot.xyz failed to boot a openSUSE Leap 16.0 installer due to the fact that initramfs cannot find squashfs device.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Linux Network Installs (64-bit).
  2. Select openSUSE.
  3. Select openSUSE Leap 16.0.

Expected behavior
Wait for a while and initramfs droped us to the emergency shell. /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt reported that initramfs had searched USB drives with openSUSE label, trying to load squashfs, but failed.

Screenshots

Stuck in systemd target Failed to boot cat /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt

Additional context

Reproduced at following hosts:

  • KVM (RHEL 7.6.0 PC (i44OFX + PIIX,1996)), 4 CPU Cores, 4 GiB RAM
  • VMWare Workstation Pro 17.6.4 on Windows 11 24H2 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H), 2 CPU Cores, 8 GiB RAM

Leap 16.0 has retired YaST in favor of the new Agama-based installer. Many kernel parameters may change.
