Embed IP_OPTIONS kargs in provisioning ISO#180
Conversation
In OCP 4.22, the installer reuses the bootstrap VM's live ISO as the provisioning ISO served to target bare metal nodes. The bootstrap ISO has console=ttyS0 embedded in its kargs area, which causes lockups on hardware that requires specific serial port configuration (baud rate, parity, etc). Additionally, ip=dhcp — previously embedded by the now-removed copy-metal/extract-machine-os.sh step — is missing. Pass the IP_OPTIONS environment variable (e.g. "ip=dhcp") as kernel arguments to NewRHCOSStreamReader when serving ISO images. The isoeditor replaces the entire kargs placeholder area in the ISO's GRUB config, so console=ttyS0 is overwritten with ip=dhcp, restoring parity with the 4.21 provisioning ISO kernel command line.

When the source ISO already has kargs embedded (e.g. console=ttyS0 set by the installer's createLiveVolume), the COREOS_KARG_EMBED_AREA regex no longer matches, causing NewRHCOSStreamReader to fail. This prevented ICC from serving the provisioning ISO at all, breaking node provisioning. Retry without kargs modification so provisioning continues to work even when the embed area cannot be rewritten. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
