I've searched this forum, tried many things, still cannot get this resolved.
I have a VirtualBox VM that I exported to an appliance. I then imported it into XenServer 7.2. I get the standard 'dracut-initqueue timeout' messages that are all over google.
No problem I thought. Booted from a CentOS 7 CD, mounted the drives, did dracut -f <specific version of kernel>.
I followed the steps here from TrevorH but it didnt work:

I'm stumped as to how to figure it out. I know I can reinstall CentOS 7 on XenServer and rebuild the database, Apache etc. but before I go that far I'm wondering if anyone has this figured out.
Rescue mode in the VM works also but same steps with dracut do not help.

You'd need dracut -f /boot/initramfs-specificversionofkernel specificversionofkernel to make it work.dracut -f <specific version of kernel>.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

@TrevorH:
I tried that...actually, since the VM needed updates, the kernel was one of them. I let it do its thing..still didnt work but a new kernel was installed.
I did a dracut -f with the same parameters you specified except with the new kernel but that didnt address it.

Eh.. I gave up.
I'm building a CentOS VM under XenServer. I still have my VM running in VirtualBox so I'll dump the db, apache configs, repo settings etc etc. Its cleaner this way anyway.
