switch_root from initramfs is failing

Hi everyone,

we're trying to implement an initramfs with the intent of:

  • Open a LUKS partition (using a key saved on TPM)
  • Mounting the partition RO
  • Mounting an OverlayFS
  • switch_root to the new system

The first part of the script seems to work fine. Our problem is in the "switch_root" part which ends in a kernel panic.

Please note that we have the same problem also without the encryption/overlay part. The problem seems strictly related to the switch_root.

We are using Yocto Sumo and the initramfs image is bundled with the kernel.

Please find attached the kernel panic log.

Thanks!
