I imported a VM with Oracle Linux 7.5 into XenServer but when I boot the linux the following error appears:

dracut-initqueue[296]: Warning: Could not boot.
dracut-initqueue[296]: Warning: /dev/ol/root does not exist
dracut-initqueue[296]: Warning: /dev/ol/swap does not exist

Warning: /dev/mapper/ol-root does not exist
Warning: /dev/ol/root does not exist
Warning: /dev/ol/swap does not exist

Generating "/run/iniramfs/rdsosreport.txt"
Entering emergency mode. Exit the shell to continue.
Type "journalctl" to view system logs

dracut:/#

I rebooted and went into rescue mode, then typed dracut -f, but it did not work

I need to recover the boot and I do not have the live cd. How can I do that?

You are most likely experiencing this.

Try running:

dracut --regenerate-all -f && grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

This will rebuild initramfs and solve naming issues in block devices (/dev/sda1 might now be /dev/xvde1 or something similar).

It has saved me when migrating to OracleVM from VMWare.
