This was caused by two issues:
rd.luks.uuid,rd.luks.name,root=)Solution
Add dracut configuration (
/etc/dracut.conf.d/10-no-hostonly.conf):Fix kernel cmdline generation in
installer.sh:rd.luks.uuid=<uuid>- specifies which LUKS device to unlockrd.luks.name=<uuid>=root- maps LUKS device to /dev/mapper/rootroot=/dev/mapper/root- specifies root filesystem locationrd.luks.options=tpm2-device=autofor TPM2 auto-unlockroot=parameterTesting
