Phase timeout expired while awaiting "software installation" of (execute-1, XXXXXX)|error

Question

I used cycle centos 7 to deploy HC44rs instances for compute cluster.
Sometimes one or two nodes can't boot properly with following message.

"Phase timeout expired while awaiting "software installation" of (execute-2, XXXXX)|error"

Following is a error log of troubled node.

/var/log/boot.log

I killed plymouth process, then a node booted up properly. I think plymouth should be disabled for compute node's OS image.
How can I do it ?

@哲司 石田 Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding on this and any inconvenience this issue may have caused!!!

Assuming that this is Ubuntu 20.04From the GRUB menu, choose Additional Options, then Recovery Mode, Root Access.

At the # prompt:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth  

Choose the ubuntu-logo choice, then repeat the command with the bgrt choice.

sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)  

Then reboot.

Hope it helps.
