[releng] Issue #7405: [s390x] Latest cloud-base and (or) container images are failing for F28 and rawhide composes

[Sinny Kumari]

sinnykumari reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
By looking into last few nightly composes for container and cloud on s390x, I observed
that we never had all of the artifacts built successfully in a single compose.
For example: 
* From Fedora-28-20180317.n.0 - cloud-base and container-minimal-base image built
successfully. container-base image failed
* From Fedora-28-20180317.n.0 - cloud-base and container-base image built successfully.
conatiner-minimal-base image failed.

Similar results from rest of the latest compose.

I did some local run of these images using imagefactory and each time following behavior
has been seen:
* kernel.img and initrd files get downloaded, vm gets launched to start install process.
* vm boots and it reaches at 
[  OK  ] Reached target System Initialization.
[  OK  ] Reached target Basic System.

and vm install stops here.

Not sure what is the reason of this behavior. Can it be something related to network
between s390x machine and koji  ?

Point to note that imagefactory run with same configuration may work fine later on.

For example, few hours earlier imagefactory run failed while trying to build
container-base image. koji-f28-build-25881314-base.ks and tdl-s390x.xml were taken from
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25881314 .

```
$ imagefactory --debug base_image --file-parameter install_script
koji-f28-build-25881314-base.ks tdl-s390x.xml  --parameter offline_icicle true
```
Re-ran above imagefactory command few minutes back  and image got built successfully this
time.

Usually the timeout and "Warning: /dev/root does not exist" means that the
installer wasn't able to download the install.img over the network. The cause can be
incorrect network setup inside the VM (unlikely) or network issues on the connection
between the VM and the install.img location (which should be a fedora infra server)
