Is there any error displayed when kernel hangs at 25%? And it can take
some time to pass the 25% (up to ~2min or so).

No, I think it's a kernel hang because the lights on the keyboard halt and I can't change to tty2, etc.. I even changed to tty2 and waited to see if there were some errors but nothing. I've read that "tty8" was the logging console but no luck also.
BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the result was the same.

In the dracut shell, could you run blkid and post the results?

I noticed that the USB Disk was named RootBackup instead of Root... I then rebooted and chose uninstall and then installed oVirt Node from scratch and now it worked.
I can't activate Networking because I have that "no hostname" error mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that...
