When I got the initramfs shell I also typed udevadm trigger --type=subsystems --action=add udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add and tried to continue the boot process, but it failed. Then I typed udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add -v and it booted nicely. Somehow, the `-v` flag

I can confirm that adding "-v" to the two udevadm trigger commands,i.e., udevadm trigger --type=subsystems --action=add -v udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add -v does indeed load the missing modules (on the second command) for me, too, and boot proceeds normally once I exit the initramfs
