Note that it also happens with kernel-linus as well as the 419 and 420 joeghi kernels.

Hi all! The problem appears to have been fixed by running "chmod -x /lib/ld-linux*". See https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/526 . I am now able to boot two kernels - one was kernel-linus from mageia.
Comment 4 Shlomi Fish 2019-02-19 11:36:40 CET 
That was a limitation of the custom kernel i ran which affected dracut - see https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/527 and https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-linux-kernel-configurations/commit/532fdd21623b706e63d3be3873725bea3e61c013 . Closing.
