Thanks for that one, missed it so far. But even with 'rd.auto' missing
it should just drop to the dracut shell, not induce a kernel panic. And
indeed, adding this to the kernel command line still does not resolve
that error. So there must be missing something else.

Interestingly enough, even adding 'rd.break=cmdline' ends in a kernel
panic before dropping to a shell.

Btw, the last entry right before the kernel panic is:

<snip>
/init: error while loading shared libraries
</snip>

Do you use something else dracut-related in your config?
