installing the dracut-config-generic via dnf is easy enough, but do I need to tell dracut which driver(s) to exclude or do I simply do a "dracut --force" to get it to rebuild? I guess the other option would be to do something like "dracut generic-kernel.img 4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64" and then add that to the grub boot menu.
