    Description:


    This update provides KIWI v7.02.97, which brings several fixes and
    enhancements:

    - Delete vmxboot dracut optimization: For vmx type images, dracut was
    called in background to speedup the boot process. However this could
    cause a race condition together with grub2-mkconfig. If grub2-mkconfig
    is called but dracut has not yet created the initrd, grub2 creates a
    configuration file without an initrd. The result boot setup is not able
    to reboot the system because the initrd is not loaded. (bsc#982092)
