After Ignition fails, we should:

  • Explain to the user that it has failed, and why
  • Offer to drop to an initramfs emergency shell
  • If the user doesn't respond within 5 minutes, reboot the system (to try again)

It appears that, instead, we currently rerun Ignition indefinitely.

In CL this is handled by the 99emergency-timeout dracut module.

Thinking of taking a look into this - I think for now we can bring 99emergency-timeout forward straight into ignition-dracut (making sure it works in FCOS, and RHCOS too if we backport it). Future adjustments could be made to the module here if needed.

dracut: add 99emergency-timeout

If Ignition fails, instead of immediately dropping to an emergency
shell, output a message indicating that Ignition failed and point
to ignition-validate. Offer to drop to an emergency shell if the
user presses Enter. If the user doesn't respond in 5 minutes,
reboot to try again. While waiting for the timeout, keep updating
the prompt with the time remaining until reboot.
