You can install the ucode package that you say it's breaking your boot, run `dracut -f --debug test.img 2>&1 &> dracut.log` (it does not install the initrd in the /boot partition), and uninstall the ucode package. Otherwise, if we don't have any kind of log it's quite difficult to guess what may be happening, I've never seen a similar bug report.
