This was indeed the case. I had to work around the problem by creating fstab by hand and re-running mkinitrd. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install OS11.3 RC1 2. 3. Actual Results: see description Expected Results: mkinitrd succeeds See attached log file: /lib/mkinitrd/setup/11-storage.sh: line 257: /etc/fstab: No such file or directo ry /lib/mkinitrd/setup/11-storage.sh: line 278: /tmp/.bBNglv/pipe: No such file or directory ReadMountPoints(): Failed to open /etc/fstab at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.0/Bootloader/Tools.pm line 192. I don't know if fstab never existed, or if it was erroneously deleted at some point. Unfotunately I also failed to check whether the initrd had been generated despite the error message.

You dicided to continue after an error occured while mounting the root filesystem. Thus fstab was only written to some tmpfs. The original problem looks like a duplicate of bug #598193. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 598193 ***
