The issue might have something to do with worker's performance:

I re-run the test with settings QEMURAM=4096 QEMUCPU=host QEMUCPUS=4 can pass the test:

actually I don't see any problem now. Keep it for a week and close it if this is still okay.

@zluo, may be we can set lower priority for this job as well :)

the recent test runs seem to be stable and we don't have failure for dracut_enhanced.

The issue can still be reproduced sporadically, let me re-open it.

I think we can try with below workarounds:

  1. Set QEMUVCPUS=4 and QEMUCPU=host to get better performance
  2. Set lower priority for this test, e.g. priority: 60, then it can be run at the time workers are not busy

This test should be run in serial console if possible or IMO press enter at some point because the dracut output goes into console.
