I need to dig further but seems to be related to mageia4arm project.

I suspect the bug is introduced with dracut generating the initrd with host configuration and not the configuration in the chroot. At start, it tries hundred of time to run non-host-only-sh script even if the configuration inside /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-mageia.conf is `hostonly="yes"`.

Current workarround is to regenerate the initrd as with:
> # dracut --force
