Description Jiri Konecny 2022-12-19 14:56:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently the DUD logging is not enough to track what is happening but mainly it also log debug outputs only to journal which is not helpful much in case of freezes during boot.

Let's backport improvement in Dracut DUD code debugging to RHEL.

There is an unexpected message printed on the console: "leaving the driver_updates script" - should be printed only when debugging is enabled.

Moving back to ASSIGNED.

(I'm not sure why the DUD was examined twice, but this issue has been reported as a separate bug 2208252)
