Description Lorenzo Prosseda 2021-07-01 07:07:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
By updating only the dracut package to the version 55-2, I experienced a slowdown of more than a minute during the boot process; from the "systemd-analize blame" command, I found that the dracut-initqueue was taking more than a minute to run.
Then, from the journal of the unit (which I got using "journalctl -xeu dracut-initqueue.service -b") I could see that a warning is popping out with the 55.

I am sure that this was absent in dracut version 53-4, because by running "dnf downgrade dracut" I was prompted to install exactly the package "dracut-053-4.fc34.x86_64", and after regenerating the initrd and rebooting, it now takes 10 seconds to the unit to finish. 


How reproducible:
install the package "dracut-055-2.fc34.x86_64"

Here are the journal extracts for both versions of dracut

Dracut version "dracut-053-4.fc34.x86_64", baseline:
