crossposting here, hopefully someone seen this issue before
i'm setting up a pxe server to boot from UEFI rhel8 guest OS over the net. I see these error messages when the system is trying to load the kernel... dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts" messages in loop while booting
this is what i see right before the dracut loop...
📷
the loops ends with the system starting the dracut emergency shell and a
Warning: /dev/root does not exist message error
also, this is my grub.cfg
set timeout=60
menuentry 'RHEL 8' {
linuxefi images/RHEL-8/vmlinuz ip=dhcp
inst.repo=http://servername/rhel8-install/
initrdefi images/RHEL-8/initrd.img
}
inst.repo location has a valid .treeinfo

Change SCSI controller to IDE1 from SCSI if this is virtual environment.
zirahe@reddit
is it possible you're still using a vmlinuz/initrd from a previous 8.7 or older installation?
