It could be similar to Redhat bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359124 does it work with net/PXE/virt-instal install? Peter, net install and PXE are ok on VM machine and on bare metal too, qemu and virt-install failed when using install from cdrom. This is probably the same issue as BZ 1365667.

I tried to install the ppc64/ppc64le daily server image on a VM machine thru a cdrom without success. It ends by: [ OK ] Started Cleanup udevd DB. [ OK ] Reached target Switch Root. Starting Switch Root... [FAILED] Failed to start Switch Root. See 'systemctl status initrd-switch-root.service' for details. Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" 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. It seems that the sysroot is not correctly filled.

Any suggestion to debug it is welcome.
