Hello,

I have an issue after dnf-upgrading the OS from 8.8 to 8.10 coming from the xcat dracut module:

1. dracut shows the following errors (which could be "legit" as source files actually may not exist)

dracut-install: ERROR: installing 'vconfig'

2. After reboot, xcat dracut module loops endlessly at cmdline stage on:

screen -dr doxcat
screen -S doxcat -L -ln doxcat

which leaves me unable to end the boot

I've tested rebuilding the initialramfs without the xcat module and the os boots fine

Do you have any clue about what could be going on ?

Thinking about it thanks to a personnal answer from someone here, I think this module may have been copied by myself by hand.
I'm not 100% sure.
In other words : can someone confirm that no xcat dracut module is supposed to be present on the *host* controller node (as opposed to stateless chroot for instance) ?

Thanks for your help
