@bluca@pid_eins well, I think there are two problems, but it's the missing kmod library that breaks boot 100% of the time. the problem with dracut's hook directory being read-only is a real thing, I'm pretty sure, but it doesn't seem to prevent boot, at least on a simple VM install (I can certainly imagine it might do so in other cases). edit: I filed https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/32511 for the read-only hooks issue.
