Does anyone know how I can configure ImageFactory / OZ to use a BIOS VM for image generation? Unfortunately I haven't found any documentation on this. For explanation: ImageFactory uses a temporary VM to create a virtual machine disk image. At least since F36 it uses UEFI for this. If you w

We use a systemd-nspawn container to set up a test environment, among others. With F36 this is currently not workable for us because the login process is broken. I set up a container as usual using dnf to create a container file system, e.g. using […]# dnf --releasever=36 --best --setopt=inst
