Hello again. I am having some issues with the hyper-v builder. I am currently trying to use the hyper-v builder to better automate image creation for the company I work for. I don't have a version of windows capable of hyper-v so I have a vmware machine that is. The builder itself seems to work as I can run a basic build and it will have me manually go through the install. The issue arises when I include a kickstart file to automatically do the install. When I do this, a college and I have come to the conclusion that the boot fails and the dracut emergency shell is invoked. He and I thought this may be because of missing hyper-v drivers. We took steps to include them via dracut, but it doesn 't seem to fix the issue. I'll attach a copy of the json and kickstart file. Is there any advice you can give?

Python # will reload the file from disk every time. As long as you save your changes # they will be reflected in the next HTTP download.
