Well now I'm also confused... I tested it sometime ago and it failed,
but now it works. May be I did something strange at that time, because
I was doing weird things to discover what was failing till I found the
arping issue. Maybe I should test everything with a different switch.

I've tested dracut without commenting the arping line and yes, I get :

dracut: FATAL: Resolving 192.168.30.1 via ARP on eth0 failed
dracut: Refusing to continue
