Hello guys, for 'easy deployment reasons' i made an ISO image (using clonezilla) of a customized CentoOS 7 machine. It boot and works flawlessly on virtualbox but it can't boot on VMware and i can't really understand what's going on....
This is a screen of the boot
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Au{R}oN

Re: Can't boot due to "Dracut initqueue timeout"
The CentOS iso images are all dual capable and can be booted on both UEFI and legacy BIOS systems. It sounds like you broke that.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Can't boot due to "Dracut initqueue timeout"
Hi Trevor, thanks for the answer. Mhhh, i can boot in the system in rescue mode.. this shouldn't be possibile if the problem was something like that, correct?
Re: Can't boot due to "Dracut initqueue timeout"
at boot, dracut during initqueue is trying to understand what is your root device that he needs to mount and he can't understand it... so you probably need to fix the cmdline in your boot (likely the APPEND line of your grub/exlinux)
you could modify the cmdline and enter a
rd.break=initqueue
if you want the boot process to send you to an interactive shell right before it looks for the root, for debug purposes (to continue after the break just "exit" )
but anyway you're likely just have a wrong cmdline and you have to direct the ROOT towards the right disk/partition

Re: Can't boot due to "Dracut initqueue timeout"
Hi CaViCcHi. Nope, root point to the correct partition. I can see that during the boot in rescue mode.
Anyway i just fixed the problem. One command to fix all that ****.
Just boot in Rescue mode and type:
dracut -f
Problem Solved.

Re: Can't boot due to "Dracut initqueue timeout"
Hi Au{R}oN,
I tried dracut -f in rescue mode but it says command not found on 7.5.
I'm looking for resolving the same issue.

In rescue mode? Or emergency mode? They are different things and one is much more capable than the other.
