A kernel and initramfs have been specified. The boot is working up until the point where the initramfs wants to mount the root file system. Where is the root file system, you haven't attached any disks to the guest? If you want to test booting just into the initramfs then you probably need to pass a distro-specific debugging option to stop the initramfs before it switches to the root file system. Sorry, I don't know dracut.
