Hi,
We do not yet have a fix for the “free magic is broken”
boot loop issue in Container Linux stable 1688.4.0. While we continue to work to resolve the problem, we are mitigating it in the following ways:
First, we have updated
http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/ to point to the previous Container Linux stable release, 1632.3.0. This will allow tools that use this directory for provisioning, including Tectonic, to launch machines using a reliable release of Container Linux.
Second, we’ve configured CoreUpdate to resume delivering Container Linux 1632.3.0. This will allow older versions of Container Linux to upgrade to a more recent version, and will not affect machines already running Container Linux 1688.4.0.
We know that OS instability is disruptive to our users’ environments, and we’re aiming to fully address this issue as soon as we can. We’ll update this thread again when a fixed stable version has been released, or as additional information becomes available.
