EndeavorOS drive cloned with Clonezilla boot fails with dracut-initqueue: starting timeout scripts

I’m trying to migrate my system from a 512GB drive to a 4TB drive. I’ve includes pictures of the output of ‘lsblk -f’

and what happens at boot. The UUID looks the same as what it’s trying to mount, maybe the path or device name is different. Some guidance on modifying the boot loader would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Can you share the output of lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size,uuid

[liveuser@eos-2025.03.19 ~]$ lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size,uuid

Did you try booting the fallback entry?

I may have, but I don’t remember. It’s been awhile since I initially started this process. I’ll remove the live endeavorOS usb and try booting again and choose the fallback, then report back.

Hey, I got in using the 1st fallback option. Thought I had done this before. Thank You! Would I have to use a fallback if I had done a dracut repair? I had tried several things previously. How do get the fallback to be the default option?

Once you get in, run sudo dracut-rebuild

The issue is probably that the initrd doesn’t have the drivers for your new device. Rebuilding should fix that as it will now be detected.

Back in business! Automatic boot successful!
