Hi Everyone, I have a server that I recently applied all updates to to bring it to 1804. After rebooting the server, it would no longer boot and is instead dropping into a dracut shell. Here's a snippet of the output printed to the console (lines will likely wrap): [ 184.163787] dracut-initqueue[256]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts [ 184.672525]

I am trying to take a CentOS 7 img and get hyperv to boot. First step. qemu-img convert "CentOS7.img" -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic "CentOS7.vhdx" after adding new hyper-v I get dracut-timeout... So doing some searching it says add hv_vmbus hv_netvsc hv_storvsc to INITRD_MODULES. which doesnt really exist any more in CentOS 7. I did find /etc/dracut.conf and add_drivers... I

I have "issues" with later versions of Centos/RHEL 7 also. PXE boot seems to work, but after the new kernel kexec's, it seems to drop the NICS and further in the process for some reason, the nics never come up, which leads to all kindsof issues of course (trying to boot a cluster that way). I also have the impression that it is a dracut issue, however, I have not pinpointed it

I tried to boot from my 6.0 USB key, no joy. Updated it to 6.2. Still no joy: it gets started, I do the disk layout, it formats the drives, and then fails, saying that it can't find "image# 1". Over in the log, I see a lot of it not finding any drive at all, yet all the h/d drives and sda2, which is what the USB key is, and where the linux partition is, are mounted. Guys, any idea

Hi, folks, Well, I get back from vacation, and three CentOS 7 boxes didn't come up this morning (my manager and the other admin did the update & reboot). On these three - but *not* another one or two, and I don't think those others are Dells, they're supermicro's - the 327 kernel fell into the rdosshell, I guess. I finally got one the three up by going back to the 228.14

Yet another denial - it's as though it's also blocking me based on the relationship of included text vs. new text. blah, blah, blah. Let's see if this is enough new text to get through.

I just updated a system - as in minutes ago, and log back in after it reboots, and this is in dmesg: [ 88.202272] systemd-readahead[484]: open(/var/tmp/dracut.fP4yj1/initramfs/usr/bin/loginctl) failed: Too many levels of symbolic links [ 88.202515] systemd-readahead[484]: open(/var/tmp/dracut.fP4yj1/initramfs/usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-emergency.service) failed: Too many levels of symbolic

I've changed the subject line. It has nothing to do with my question with my original post, that no one seems to have any answer to, what file "image# 1" is looking for.
