dracut-initqueue timeout error and prompts a /dev/root does not exist message.

Solution
This issue is caused by the inconsistency between the partition label in GRUB and the actual USB
disk or drive name.
To resolve the issue:
1. Execute the
ls /dev command in GRUB to identify the partition label of the bootable USB disk
or drive, for example, sda4.
2. Reboot the server.
3. As shown in Figure 238, change the drive letter path to /dev/sda4.
