RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

works well with RHEL-8.4.0-20210210.n.0 and dracut-049-133.git20210112.el8.x86_64

Can you please add rd.debug on kernel cmdline and post here the logs? Also does this work when you drop rd.nofcoe=1 completely?

It works well after remove rd.nofcoe parameter from kernel line or rd.nofcoe=0

Well, what do you expect should happen when you explicitly *disable* FCoE?

we need to backport:
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/805b46c2a81e04d69fc3af912942568516d05ee7
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/6f7823bce65dd4b52497dbb94892b637fd06471a

Verified on dracut-049-188.git20210802.el8.x86_64

option is now called rd.fcoe, with 0 disabling FCoE
