If your root partition is on a network drive, you have to have the network
dracut modules installed to create a network aware initramfs image.
-On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora system, this means, you have to install
-the _dracut-network_ rpm package:
-
-
-----
-# yum install dracut-network
-----
-
-The resulting initramfs image can be served by a boot manager residing on your
-local hard drive or it can be served by a PXE/TFTP server.
-
-How to setup your PXE/TFTP server can be found in the

If you specify ip=dhcp on the kernel command line, then dracut asks a dhcp
server about the ip adress for the machine. The dhcp server can also serve an
additional root-path, which will set the root device for dracut. With this
If the boot process does not succeed, you have several options to debug the
situation. Some of the basic operations are covered here. For more information
