Description of problem: On Fedora 45 IoT (dracut 111), Ignition fails to fetch remote configuration with "network is unreachable" error because NetworkManager never starts in initramfs. Root cause: dracut 110 removed the compatibility symlink from /usr/lib/dracut/hooks/ to /var/lib/dracut/hooks/ (commit 7dcc0ad1). The ignition-edge script coreos-enable-network.sh hardcoded the old path /usr/lib/dracut/hooks/cmdline/99-nm-config.sh, which no longer exists. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 45 IoT image with Ignition remote config. 2. Observe Ignition attempting to fetch remote configuration. 3. Network fetch fails with "network is unreachable". Actual Results: NetworkManager hook is not sourced, network never comes up in initramfs, Ignition cannot fetch remote config. Expected Results: NetworkManager should start in initramfs and Ignition should successfully fetch remote configuration.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 45-beta by Fedora user knecasov using the blocker tracking app because: This Bug resolves a regression where Fedora 45 IoT cannot fetch an Ignition remote configuration due to a hardcoded path in ignition-edge broken by dracut 110's symlink removal.

We signed off on Beta today (with 20260909.0 snapshot as the IoT release), so this can't be a Beta FE now.
@pwhalen said in https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/blocker-review/issues/2173 that this is important for IoT and might propose a criterion change for it. Marking this as proposed for Final FE at least, so that we don't lose track of it (and might be even a blocker, if that criterion change gets proposed).
AGREED AcceptedFinalFreezeException Discussed at the 2026-09-14 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting: this is accepted as it affects deployment and thus cannot be fixed with a post-release update https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org//blocker-review_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2026-09-14/f45-blocker-review.2026-09-14-16.01.log.txt
Verified fixed in ignition-2.27.0-2.fc45
