os-release missing from the Fedora 22 squashfs?

[Fabian Deutsch]

Hey,

I'm booting the F22 squashfs using:
-kernel vmlinuz \
-initrd initrd.img \
-append "console=ttyS0 inst.ks=http://10.0.2.2:51738/kickstarts/rootfs.ks inst.stage2=http://10.0.2.2:51738/ quiet cmdline inst.virtiolog "

kernel, initrd, and squashfs are from the F22 dirs:
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-22&arch=x86_64

and when I boot, I get:

==================================================
Starting Switch Root...
[FAILED] Failed to start Switch Root.
See "systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service" for details.
Warning: /dev/root does not exist

Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue.
Type "journalctl" to view system logs.
You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot
after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

==================================================

I also see that os-release is not in the squashfs and I can not make much of the "new?" initrd:

$ lsinitrd data/images/initrd.img
Image: data/images/initrd.img: 43M

My question is now: Are the images intended to boot anaconda?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Is something broken?

Yes, it's a known bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1191713

once a new lorax build is sent out, the next nightlies should work.
