As reported in bug 1201042 I have the same/similar issues. The actual problem happens when the scripts tries to run: [ 7.344408] dracut-initqueue[729]: + mount -t nfs -orw,nolock 192.168.2.1:/mama/machines/kbl/x86_64/tumbleweed /sysroot [ 7.406876] dracut-initqueue[735]: mount.nfs: No such device If I wait for the timeout to kick in and get access to the shell I can manually type the mount command and everything works fine. I get this problem with both virtual machines and real hardware. I'm attaching the boot log as serial output from a virtual machine.
