When specifying a non-existent network interface as the NIC in either the kernel cmdline (booting from pxe) using the ``ip=INTERFACENAME:PROTOCOL'' directive or via a kickstart file, dracut will loop up to its recursion limit of 360 (at which point it fails with a generic error message) in the initqueue/finished script from the check_finished shell function. <br />
<br />
I believe it may be handy to have some useful error output from the wait-INTERFACE.sh script especially since over the next few months a lot of folks will probably be making the same mistake with network interface naming as we move from the ethX naming convention to the new default naming convention in 7.
