Centos 7 64 bit VM(vmware) image restore onto a dell r420 server is not working. This VM is just 30Gb, fresh minimal install using default LVM partition and other default settings. The target dell server has about 500 GB hard disk. After the image restore on the dell server, the bootup screen is stuck at "reached target basic system" for some time, and then continues to show "dracut timeout .." messages and finally stuck at "job is running to find dev-map..". On a customized centos 7 image(latest kernel 4.9), I see the "root, swap ..partitions not found" etc messages afte the dracut message lines. How to fix this?
Additional details:
The source vm is created using vmware. vm Disk controller is SCSI, LSI logic(defaults).
Clonezilla is 2.5 64 bit iso image latest.
Normally this kind of issue is in the initrd, you have rebuild it the rescue mode. For more info, check something like:

Rebuilding in rescue mode as suggested remedies this but is there a release of clonezilla coming that addresses this issue? Thanks for the support!

Actually this is the restored OS which has to take care of this issue. The required Linux modules are missing in initrd, so it can not find the root device to boot.
