Description:
When the rescue target is started in initrd I only get this message: sulogin: cannot open password database Root cause is that libnss_files can not get opened. sulogin tries to open /usr/lib/libnss_files.so.2, but in the initrd this symlink (to libnss_files-2.27.so) is missing. Adding this symlink fixes the rescue target again. Additional info: * systemd 238.76-1 * mkinitcpio 24-2 Steps to reproduce: * Change the root device in your boot loader entry and reboot * Wait for 90s till systemd gives up looking for the root device * You should see "sulogind: cannot open password database" |
This task depends upon

I set severity to High since this bug makes debugging of initrd
issues impossible.
