If we place the squashfs image to default path with the default name we might be able to work around a dracut upstream issue. Note we are currently seeing this issue in TW, Fedora (>= 38) and Ubuntu (>= 23.04).

Would be nice finding a way to circumvent this issue so we do not depend on dracut cutting a new release and landing this patch into the distros code stream.

The idea is set the ISO in a way that those two kernel parameters are no longer needed: rd.live.dir=/ rd.live.squashimg=rootfs.squashfs

dracut documentation states:

rd.live.dir=<path>
           Specifies the directory within the boot device where the
           squashfs.img or rootfs.img can be found. By default, this is
           /LiveOS.

rd.live.squashimg=<filename of SquashFS image>
           Specifies the filename for a SquashFS image of the root
           filesystem. By default, this is squashfs.img.

We can also try to submit to Tumbleweed and SLE the actual upstream patch

This is no longer needed thanks to openSUSE/dracut#311 Closing
