Since anaconda 34.17 landed in Rawhide, initial-setup doesn't work any more. It hits this traceback on startup:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I believe this is most likely caused by https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/ef0b5e98dc8cdb46aa80f3210825db366143aab6 - "Don't run spokes that don't support non-package payloads" - but I'm not sure what the best fix would be.

This breaks disk image deployment, because initial-setup has to work for setting a root and/or user password in that case. Proposing as a Beta blocker as a violation of Basic criterion "A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system" for aarch64 disk images, some of which are release blocking.
