For your help:
When you convert a vm with redhat7 or centos7 and it failed boot with
"dracut-initqueue timeout", rootfs, swapfs not found, then the reason is, the modules for "virtio_scsi" are not found and are not installed.

Before you convert the machine do:
dracut --add-drivers "virtio_balloon virtio_ring virtio_input virtio_pci virtio virtio_blk virtio_net virtio_scsi" --force

Thanks for your work!
