Leapp upgrade from OL7.9 to OL8.10 reboot to emergency mode

Jerry ZhangSep 25 2024

Wondering if any one has seen an issue similar to this
I run

sudo leapp preupgrade --oraclelinux --iso /root/OracleLinux-R8-U10-x86_64-dvd.iso

I answer provide answers to the answer file as per the documentation, then run

sudo leapp upgrade --oraclelinux --iso /root/OracleLinux-R8-U10-x86_64-dvd.iso

This completes with no errors and states that a reboot is now required.
I then proceed to reboot, the upgrade process begins and runs for about 10 minutes, all seems fine, then all of a sudden I get this.

From /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt, I got:

[  389.354042] localhost upgrade[579]: Following errors occurred and the upgrade cannot continue:
[  389.354042] localhost upgrade[579]:     1. Actor: scan_installed_target_kernel_version
[  389.354042] localhost upgrade[579]:        Message: Cannot determine location of the target kernel boot image and corresponding initramfs .

I have also thoroughly read https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/leapp/OL8-LEAPP.pdf and cannot find any reason as to why this is happening.
I have attached /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt

rdsosreport.txt
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
