Hi, Harald I find that rd.break=cmdline will cause a dead lock of service dependencies. dracut-cmdline.service: [..] Before=systemd-vconsole-setup.service dracut-emergency.service: [..] After=systemd-vconsole-setup.service Wants=systemd-vconsole-setup.service So it appears to be a dead lock between systemd-vconsole-setup.service and dracut-cmdline.service if we issue dracut-emergency.service with rd.break=cmdline. Because vconsole.conf is generated under cmdline hook, so simply remove 'Before=systemd-vconsole-setup.service' wouldn't be a decent solution. Wondering if you have any idea how to fix it.
