Thanks for the confirmation. I was assuming this was the case, as it
seemed too major for it not to be widely reported if it was common.
There were hundreds of updates in the time frame that whatever is
causing this occurred. And, since the mass rebuild, they have rolled
off. Maybe it is some arcane system setting I have enabled or
disabled, but I don't recall changing anything that could cause this.
I'll just keep plugging away. I'll probably focus on trying to boot
without an initramfs, as that seems pretty straightforward, and would
conclusively point or not point at dracut as the issue. That early
boot process is difficult to debug because it is so minimal.
The problem was missing libraries in the initramfs. When I added all
the libraries back manually (about 80), the stock Fedora kernel booted
successfully. My custom kernels still don't boot, but that is
probably just a tweak to their configuration or dracut configuration.
