It sounds like something required wasn't ready, and caused boot to get
dropped at emergency.target. By the time you control-D to continue,
the require thing is ready so boot continued. Speculation.
Anyway, if you can locate /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt and post it
somewhere, that'd be useful at figuring out what the problem is. Also
include version of dracut:
$ rpm -q dracut
So, I do not know what to do here:
I try the following (sudo to be sure):
$ sudo cat /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt
cat: /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt: No such file or directory
Indeed:
$ sudo locate rdsosreport
[sudo] password for maitra:
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99base/rdsosreport.sh
So, where is this file?
Btw, here is the other output you asked for:
$ rpm -q dracut
dracut-038-31.git20141204.fc21.x86_64
I am happy to provide more information as needed.
Many thanks again for helping!
Best wishes,
Ranjan
