dracut has a loop [1] where it probes top-level directories, tries to find what block device they are on, then determines the file-system of that block device. It then puts those file-system modules into the initramfs for boot. Since we install the kernel package during the chroot phase, / there is not a block device and thus this loop matches nothing and we end up with no file-system modules in the initramfs. This results in a very annoying silent boot hang. By moving re-generation of dracut into finalise.d phase, we run inside the final image where / is the loop-device; the root file-system gets detected correctly and the ext4 module is included correctly.

yum-minimal
Base element for creating minimal yum-based images.
This element is incomplete by itself, you'll want to use the centos-minimal or fedora-minimal elements to get an actual base image.
Use of this element will require 'yum' and 'yum-utils' to be installed on Ubuntu and Debian. Nothing additional is needed on Fedora or CentOS.
The DIB_OFFLINE or more specific DIB_YUMCHROOT_USE_CACHE variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem tarball.
If you wish to have DHCP networking setup for eth0 & eth1 via /etc/sysconfig/network-config scripts/ifcfg-eth[0|1], set the environment variable DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES to 1.
