I'm not sure but I think the reason I was having so much trouble was
that I didn't remove the failed try at a init thingy in the kernel
itself.  I tried that first but it didn't work. When I started trying to
use dracut, I didn't even think to disable or remove the in kernel one.

I have updated my kernel several times since and I have not had a single
issue.  So, if you decide to use dracut, make sure you clean out the old
cruft first.

That said, I didn't know dracut could do the file system checks before
mounting and doing the switch_root thing.  I see it include the programs
but never seen it actually do the check.  Makes me wonder.
