Hi, I am trying to build a custom initramfs on RHEL7 using dracut. I created my custom modules (which i want to get executed when the udev event settles down) and placed them in the /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d directory. The initramfs got created successfully but when i boot the box with it, i am seeing that the boot process goes into the following loop: ----8<---- [ 18.072983] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /bin/dracut-initqueue@69(): '[' 27 -gt 360 ']' [ 18.080265] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /bin/dracut-initqueue@24(): : [ 18.087346] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /bin/dracut-initqueue@26(): check_finished [ 18.094250] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /lib/dracut-lib.sh@408(check_finished): local f [ 18.100993] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /lib/dracut-lib.sh@409(check_finished): for f in '$hookdir/initqueue/finished/*.sh' [ 18.107673] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /lib/dracut-lib.sh@410(check_finished): '[' '/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2fdisk\x2fby-uuid\x2fe96b3d2c-7379-4ffd-a7eb-9fc82452c31a.sh' = '/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/*.sh' ']' [ 18.114435] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /lib/dracut-lib.sh@411(check_finished): '[' -e '/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2fdisk\x2fby-uuid\x2fe96b3d2c-7379-4ffd-a7eb-9fc82452c31a.sh' ']' [ 18.120823] libl038 dracut-initqueue[338]: /lib/dracut-lib.sh@411(check_finished): .
