network-legacy gen-rules.sh failes due to missing initqueue/finished directory
Describe the bug
Attached are the init.log and build logs.
I've been trying to build zfsbootmenu with remote ssh access in a reproducible way using a debian:bookworm docker based workflow.
zfsbootmenu prohibits systemd dracut modules, so I've enabled network-legacy instead. hostonly is disabled/ set to no. zfsbootmenu calls dracut (see the logs), and finally produces a UEFI stub image which I test using qemu. I boot the image with ip=dhcp and rd.neednet=1, as well as some debug flags to increase dracut logging.
The image builds fine, however when booting the eth0 interface stays DOWN and no IP is assigned via dhcp.
I can then manually bring up the interface just fine by calling dhclient eth0.
Looking /run/initramfs/init.log I see
//lib/dracut/hooks/pre-udev/60-net-genrules.sh: line 120: /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/wait-network.sh: No such file or directory
**Fix :question: **
If I add mkdir -p "$hookdir"/initqueue/finished just before that line, similar to network-manager and connman modules and rebuild the image, the interface comes up automatically at boot, as expected.
Distribution used
Docker version of debian bookworm.
Dracut version
059-4
Init system
? systemd when generating dracut, but systemd is omitted in dracut's conf files.
To Reproduce
I can share my dockerfile is necessary, but, without being a dracut expert or experienced user at all, I wonder how network-legacy can work if neither connman or network-manager modules are used and the finished dir is never created?
Expected behavior
I'd have expected the eth0 interface to be brought up properly by network-legacy.

Thanks for the report.

network-legacy does not have a dependency on connman or on network-manager. There are several options to get networking working, network-legacy is simply one of them. This is expected.
