Title:
  overlay-root doesn't work by default

Status in dracut package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  By default the module 90overlay-root gets installed, but this module won't work in hostonly mode.
  In hostonly mode the required kernel module overlay is not installed.
  Using the command line option rootovl at boot will hang the system, because the dracut module will try to run but fail because of the missing kernel support.
  Other dracut modules fix this by setting hostonly='' before running instmods.

  Regards,

  Usarin Heininga
