In Step 8, you probably mean to either touch /.autorelabel , or echo "" > /.autorelabel .

TBH, in my case it is working fine.

There might be other disk related encryption might be enabled or something.

I also exprience the same on delivering the RH134 courses, can anyone including @Tracy_Baker could confirm does on RHA VM on Cloud works?

There are chat happen around with Red Hat Employee on https://www.reddit.com/r/redhat/comments/v1tjay/strange_situation_root_password_reset_rhel_9/iapvlhf...

I can't use rd.break both on servera or even on workstation. I remember back in the day, this bug exist on 8.2 also... At that time, I still have workaround using

ro init=/bin/bash

on the linux grub line, as the lab still allow it, now I can't do it anymore.

Any help is appreciated
