Description Daniel Harding 2020-03-26 09:38:29 UTC
Upstream bug:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1810504

The symptom is that the busybox symlinks are created in the root of the initramfs instead of under /bin, /sbin, etc.  This includes init, which ends up pointing to busybox instead of systemd, resulting in a failure to boot.

I can confirm this issue, disabling busybox is a working workaround for now.
