The kernel does attempt – according to instructions in initramfs – mount filesystem from LV “root” that is within VG “rl”. Looks like the LVM2 VG (and LVs within) have not been initialized. All of this is just resulting symptoms, not the initial error. Does the `/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt’ have the first signs of failure?
Actually it started as per the above and then i removed the secure boot from the vm advanced options and started not loading at all.
Can you clarify the exact versions of the host, and the vm?
The SBAT message, did you see this on the host or the guest?
Yes sure …
Host → VMware ESXi, 8.0.1, 21813344
VM → Rocky 8.7
The SBAT message appears on the guest.
Regarding where it says Rocky 8.7, it sounds a bit behind, did it have the Apr 2024 updates applied, new shim etc. If not, it could cause the SBAT failure.
