Description Jiri Konecny 2022-12-19 14:57:48 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2154904 +++

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.

Comment 3 Jan Stodola 2023-05-18 12:06:57 UTC

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