Initially, I just rebooted from LiveCD and left Grub,kernel and dracut do their job with the defaults, but unfortunately, boot process stops at initrd (dracut) stage with the following error: [ 197.768159] localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[252]: Warning: Could > not

Hello, I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation. Below some background on this.
