sysclone code hard coded the "lzma" as the genesis initrd file type, but lzma is not installed on RHEL 7 by default, so mknb generates the file with .gz postfix, caused the sysclone code failed to find the genesis initrd file. The temporary workaround is to install lzma manually.

yum install xz-lzma-compat
